After the wildfires — lessons on being prepared | SaltWire #wildfire #novascotia #thinkingoutoudLONDON - Timur Bulatov, a Russian activist who has boasted about denouncing LGBT people and Kremlin critics to the authorities, is now in the line of fire himself, charged with discrediting the Russian armed forces.
"Where is the discrediting?" he said."I am a person whose petitions the imprisonment of about eight people in St Petersburg, and throughout Russia more than 20."Bulatov has openly discussed his activity as a serial informer whose denunciations have led to a slew of civil and criminal cases being filed against individuals over the years.
Homosexuality is not criminalised in Russia but authorities have used laws against"gay propaganda" for over a decade to pursue civil and criminal cases against LGBT people.Separate cases were opened against two individuals who posted photographs online of themselves standing partially unclothed in front of Russian Orthodox churches after Bulatov reported them to authorities, Ostorozhno Novosti said.
