Russian prosecutors in Siberia have reportedly appealed the acquittal of LGBTQ activist and artist Yulia Tsvetkova in a controversial case testing the country’s increasingly hostile laws regarding sexual expression.
Activist and artist Yulia Tsvetkova, 29, has been acquitted by a Russian court of distributing "pornography" and "LGBT propaganda" after being arrested for posting drawings of female anatomy online, for which she could have faced up to six years in prison if convicted.
