Russian court lifts fine imposed on teen for homosexual relations propaganda

MOSCOW, October 29 (RAPSI) – A court in the Altai Region has overturned a 50,000-ruble (about $800) fine imposed on a teenager by a juvenile affairs commission for propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations, the court’s press service has told RAPSI.

The school student’s case has been closed for failure of evidence, a representative of the court said.
