Moscow, May 27, Interfax - Moscow's Tagansky Court has upheld a decision by the city's authorities to ban a gay pride parade planned for this Sunday, the parade's organizer Nikolay Alexeyev said.
"This was a denial. The court found lawful the Central Administrative District prefecture's ban on our three pickets in the center of Moscow," Alexeyev toldInterfaxon Thursday.
Alexeyev said he would appeal the ruling with a higher court and with the European Court of Human Rights.
"Naturally, we will appeal this decision. I hope we will reach the European Court as well," he said.
Alexeyev said the parade would still take place despite the ban.
"Just as we conducted our actions [previously], we will continue to conduct them even despite the absence of permission," he said.
