The event that is being sponsored by Lush, All Out, London Roller Girls and the Peter Tatchell Foundation, is aiming to show opposition to the human rights abuses in Russia.
'We are rallying near the Russian Embassy in London to show our opposition to the continued human rights abuses sanctioned by the Putin regime, including the new anti-gay law banning “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations to minors”, which has coincided with an upsurge in homophobic and transphobic violence in the country,' said co-organiser Juliet Chard of Lush.
Fellow co-organiser Peter Tatchell added:
'The Sochi Olympics are in full swing. This carnival is our fun way to keep up the pressure on the Russian government and show our support for LGBT Russians and all Russian victims of human rights abuses. We don’t want Putin to think that now the Olympics have started the protests are over. Let’s keep highlighting the terrible things happening in Russia and support the heroic Russian activists - gay and straight - who are defending human rights. Freedom of expression for all.'
