On Saturday, IndigNation organized an event held at the Hong Lim park entitled “To Russia with Love” which attracted a crowd of over 100 people to show express solidarity and support to the LGBT community in Russia over concerns of the widespread increase in the number of violent incidents, assaults, harassment and bullying of Russian LGBT people and their allies.

The organizers had the supporters to sign the petition to address their concerns to the Russian Embassy in Singapore and will be delivering the petition over this week.
