“The Moscow police have prevented an attempt of an unauthorized action in front of the City Hall, police deputy spokesman Yevgeny Gildeyev told Itar-Tass on Sunday … ‘We prevented the breach of law and order and ensured the security of city residents in strict compliance with the rules,’ Gildeyev said.”

Russian newspaper ITAR-TASS reports on the arrest of gay activists in Moscow, conveniently ignoring their ill-treatment as reported by the Western media. ITAR-TASS article here. BBC News article here, for comparison.
