Ministry of Justice demanded to recognize Novosibirsk transgender aid project T9 NSK as 'extremist'
The Novosibirsk branch of the Ministry of Justice demanded that the transgender aid project T9 NSK be recognized as an 'extremist' organization. 'Pervy Otdel' and 'Mediazona' drew attention to this. The Zheleznodorozhny District Court of Novosibirsk will consider the Ministry of Justice's claim on March 10. The head of T9 NSK, German Trubin, is listed among the interested parties in the case. The Ministry of Justice included the T9 NSK project in the 'foreign agents' register in January 2023. 'Mediazona' notes that as of today, the project's website is not working, and its social media accounts have been deleted. It is assumed that T9 NSK has ceased its activities. Earlier, a court in St. Petersburg recognized the LGBT support group 'Vykhod' in Russia as an 'extremist association.' In addition, the department is demanding the prohibition of other queer organizations in Russia – 'Russian LGBT Network' and 'Irida.' They continue to defend their rights in court.
