Russian gay-baiter 'Cleaver' arrested in Cuba

Thu 23 Jan 2014 In: International News

A Russian Neo-Nazi who has filmed gay men being assaulted and humiliated, driving at least one to later commit suicide, has been arrested in Cuba for ‘extremism’. Maxim 'Cleaver' Martsinkevich has released a series of videos in his ‘Occupy Pedophilia’ campaign showing battered gay men being humiliated with sex toys, drinking what he says is urine, painted with a Star of David and make false statements that they are paedophiles. Gay teenagers are among those who have been targeted in meetings which are orchestrated in gay chat rooms. One teenager is reported to have since taken his own life. Russia's RIA Novosti, a state-run news agency, says Martsinkevich is in the custody of Cuban police and extradition to Russia is being arranged. He’s taken to Facebook to ask his supporters for money to pay a good lawyer.
