LGBT Film Festival “Side by Side” continues collecting donations. Let us recall that on 6 June, 2013 Side by Side was groundlessly found guilty for violating the ‘foreign agent’ law and fined 500 000 RUB. On 26 July, 2013 St. Petersburg’s Kuibyshevsky district court upheld the decision, reducing the fine to 400 000 RUB.
“We will continue to defend our rightness in the Russian higher courts, but in really we do understand that we are dealing with a political order and we are concerned that we won’t be able to prove anything in the Russian courts – admit the organizers of the festival. – We ask for your help: if our work is important for you, if you consider it useful and needed for the Russian society, please support us financially in this difficult situation”.
APO “Gay-Alliance Ukraine” joins the fundraising campaign for Russian LGBT Film Festival “Side by Side” and calls upon all concerned people not to stay on the sidelines and to help.
Each donation, regardless of its size, is very important and can be crucial. Even simple repost of this message can help in fundraising of the required sum of money. Show your solidarity to Russian activists. Only together will we be able to resist the repressions!
