Russia: British campaigner's assault ignored by police
Moscow, 2007.
Gay rights activist Peter Tatchell visciously punched in the face, kicked then arrested. Homophobic assailant walks free.
Richard Fairbrass (Bi-Sexual) punched in the face.
30 members of European Parliament also arrested.
Riot police used violence to break up a gay rights demonstration in Moscow yesterday and arrested several European parliamentarians in what critics say is the latest violation of human rights in Russia.
A group of gay rights activists came under attack from neo-Nazi thugs when they tried to present a petition asking Moscow's mayor, Yuri Luzhkov, to lift a ban on a Gay Pride parade. He has previously dubbed gay rallies "satanic". Witnesses said riot police watched as far-right skinheads chanting "death to homosexuals" beat up several activists....

Or perhaps this should have been called 'Rights, said Fred"?
Prior to 2020, it would have been reasonable to assume that, faced with a tyrannical imposition on our most fundamental rights and freedoms, armies of rock musicians would have risen up in protest and activism - particularly those from genres traditionally associated with being “anti-establishment,” such as Punk, New Wave, Heavy Rock, Heavy Metal, Rave, Drum ’N’ Bass.
And yet, for the most part from these quarters here has been meek, compliant silence, with only a very small few demonstrating the balls and backbone to stand up and be counted.

11. SOUNDBITE: (English) Marco Capatto, European Parliament deputy
"I saw you talking with them. Why you don't protect us? Where is the police? Why you don't react? I am a member of parliament."

STORYLINE
Russian police detained gay rights activists, including at least two European lawmakers, after they were punched in the face and pelted with eggs during a demonstration in downtown Moscow on Sunday.
The demonstrators, appearing to number less than 100, tried to present a letter signed by some 40 European lawmakers to the office of Moscow's mayor, appealing against the city's ban on a march they wanted to conduct.
Police quickly arrested about a dozen demonstrators - including Russian gay rights movement leader Nikolai Alexeyev - and forced them into a bus.
Others, including German parliament member Volker Beck, were escorted away as gay rights opponents threw fists and eggs and shouted slogans.
One woman repeatedly threw water from a bottle at Peter Tatchell, a British gay rights activist, as he tried to speak.
A young man in a camouflage T-shirt then punched Tatchell in the head and Tatchell was led away by police.
The lead singer from British group, Right Said Fred, was also hit in the face and was later led away by police with his face covered in blood.
None of the gay rights opponents were seen being taken away by police and demonstrators who weren't detained complained that police ignored the violence.
Marco Capatto, a European Parliament deputy from Italy, was kicked by a gay rights opponent as he spoke to journalists; Capatto began shouting "Where are the police?" as officers hauled him away.
The banned march was aimed at marking the 14th anniversary of Russia decriminalising homosexuality.
Despite being taken out of the criminal code, homosexuality is still widely despised.
In all, about 20 demonstrators appeared to have been detained, but police declined to give any figures immediately.

Moscow, 2007.
Gay rights activist Peter Tatchell visciously punched in the face, kicked then arrested. Homophobic assailant walks free.
Richard Fairbrass (Bi-Sexual) punched in the face.
30 members of European Parliament also arrested.
Riot police used violence to break up a gay rights demonstration in Moscow yesterday and arrested several European parliamentarians in what critics say is the latest violation of human rights in Russia.
A group of gay rights activists came under attack from neo-Nazi thugs when they tried to present a petition asking Moscow's mayor, Yuri Luzhkov, to lift a ban on a Gay Pride parade. He has previously dubbed gay rallies "satanic". Witnesses said riot police watched as far-right skinheads chanting "death to homosexuals" beat up several activists.
The police failed to arrest the skinheads but detained several of the Europeans - including the German MP Volker Beck, a member of the Green party, and the radical Italian MEP Marco Capatto. Riot police threw Mr Capatto into a police van. "Why don't you protect us?" he shouted.
"It was absolutely shocking," the gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell told the Guardian yesterday. "The police stood there while people knocked me to the ground and kicked me. Four or five neo-Nazis attacked me. The police watched. At a certain point the police then arrested me and let my neo-Nazi attackers walk free."
Religious orthodox protesters and skinheads hurled eggs and stones - injuring Mr Tatchell in the eye. They also attacked Richard Fairbrass, the gay singer from the pop group Right Said Fred.
"When we were in the police van the police taunted us," Mr Tatchell said after his release. "They said, 'Are you a member of the sexual minority?' We said yes. They said, 'We are going to have some fun with you at the police station.' What happened here shows the flawed and failed nature of Russia's transition to democracy. There is no right to protest in Moscow."
The arrest of European parliamentarians is likely to further depress relations between the EU and Russia - which are at a lowpoint after an acrimonious summit this month in the Russian city of Samara. The chairwoman of Germany's Green party, Claudia Roth, yesterday called on the chancellor, Angela Merkel, to raise the issue of rights with President Vladimir Putin at next month's G8 summit.
As a member of the Council of Europe and signatory to the European convention on human rights, Russia is obliged to allow demonstrations. "It has been shown once again today that human rights are systematically abused in Putin's Russia," Ms Roth said.
The activists had tried to deliver a petition signed by 50 MEPs calling on Moscow's mayor to respect freedom of assembly, but 30 of them were arrested and they did not make it to his city hall office. Mr Beck was later released. Three Russian gay rights campaigners were kept in custody and charged with disobeying police.
Neo-Nazi thugs and an orthodox priest attacked the activists when they were freed several hours after their arrest, witnesses said. "This is terrible but I am not scared," a Russian named Alexey said, blood streaming from his face. "This is a pretty scary place, a pretty scary country if you are gay. But we won't give up until they allow us our rights."
Russia decriminalised homosexuality in 1993, but the gay community is still widely reviled. Last year Mr Luzhkov refused to allow a Gay Pride rally to take place.

Or perhaps this should have been called 'Rights, said Fred"?
Prior to 2020, it would have been reasonable to assume that, faced with a tyrannical imposition on our most fundamental rights and freedoms, armies of rock musicians would have risen up in protest and activism - particularly those from genres traditionally associated with being “anti-establishment,” such as Punk, New Wave, Heavy Rock, Heavy Metal, Rave, Drum ’N’ Bass.
And yet, for the most part from these quarters here has been meek, compliant silence, with only a very small few demonstrating the balls and backbone to stand up and be counted.
Two unexpected contenders have been brothers Richard and Fred Fairbrass, better known as 90s pop/ dance act Right Said Fred. Here, they chat about what first motivated them to take a stand, the flak they’ve endured as a result, and just why they think it is that more from their field have not been freely speaking up.
