Gay parade was held in Odessa despite the restraining order
Odessa, participants of the queer festival "Odessa Pride" held an LGBT march on Primorskiy Boulevard on Saturday morning, reports the "Dumskaya".
The march was attended by over 50 people. They walked from the Duke of Richelieu to the City Hall building. Then they boarded buses and left the scene.
As a "Dumskaya" correspondent reports, the youngsters trying to disrupt the happening were blocked at the Navy museum by the police. The ten were detained and taken by bus to the police department.
The event was held under the supervision of 200 police officers, who completely cordoned off the area.
Earlier the Odessa District Administrative Court has forbidden holding street actions in the framework of the festival "Odessa Pride 2016" on the lawsuit of the Odessa City Council, which was requested to file such a lawsuit by the main department of the National Police in the Odessa region. However, on Friday evening LGBT activists reapplied for a march totaling 300 people.
The local authority did not have time to challenge it.
