Fairbrass attacked in Moscow

Right Said Fred's Richard Fairbrass and Peter Tatchell were attacked during a gay rights protest march in Moscow.

Right Said Fred's Richard Fairbrass has been attacked, alongside gay rights and human rights activist Peter Tatchell, during a protest march in Moscow. The incident occurred after demonstrators attempted to appeal the ban on a gay rights march in the city, an event set to mark the fourteenth anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Russia. Fairbrass was punched in the face and kicked whilst speaking to a journalist. Tatchell, meanwhile, was attacked by several nationalists, shouting "death to homosexuals", which isn't very nice. He was subsequently taken away by riot police.
