Russian Man Arrested for Organizing LGBTQ+ Tours Dies in Police Custody
A Russian man arrested […] for organizing LGBTQ+ travel tours has died in pre-trial detention, rights groups and Russian state media reported Sunday.
Andrei Kotov, the director of the travel agency Men Travel, was charged last month with taking part and organizing “extremist” activities.
The OVD-Info rights group cited Kotov’s lawyer as saying investigators told her that he committed suicide early Sunday. […] OVD-Info said that the 40-year-old Kotov reported being beaten during his arrest last month. Last month, state media published a video of him being questioned on the floor by law enforcement authorities.
Yes, they are running out of options.
Just a question: Where have you got the data from? I assume the $54billion are the total asset. According to the data I have, Russia’s National Wealth Fund’s liquid assets - which are supposedly more relevant when it comes to defend the currency - stand at just $31bn as per November 2024. But please correct me if you think I am mistaken.
