Serbian activists hold small pride sit-in

Mon 8 Oct 2012 In: International News View at Wayback View at NDHA

Serbian gay rights activists have held a small pride event after being banned from having a march by authorities. AP reports that amid a heavy police presence, about two dozen flag-waving activists briefly appeared outside an office building in central Belgrade and sat down on the sidewalk for what they described as a “small, silent, non-violent and motionless protest.” Police have banned the parade for the last two years, saying they fear a repeat of the violence from 2010 when more than 100 people were injured in day-long clashes with the extremists.
