In regards to the questions coming to us about the announced for June 26 gay pride in St. Petersburg LGBT Organisation “Coming Out” states:

We are not organisers of this event. We do not have information about the time when and place where it will be held. We believe that everyone has the right to decide themselves whether or not to participate in a certain action.

The liberty of peaceful gatherings is one of the fundamental human rights. As a human right organisation we will monitor the situation and are willing to provide legal counseling help to those whose rights will be violated.
