Police raids target LGBTQ+ spaces in Moscow's nightlife.
Reading
Russian police went to bars and clubs in Moscow and took things like phones and cameras. They also checked people's IDs and told some people to lie down on the floor.
This happened because Russia made a law against 'LGBTQ+ propaganda' last year. The law says that being LGBTQ+ is like being part of a dangerous group.
One club called Mono said that the police didn't find anything bad. But they also said it's a difficult time right now in Russia.
The police also arrested someone who plans trips for LGBTQ+ people. They said he was going to take people to Egypt for New Year's.
Many people are worried that this law will be used to target anyone who seems different. Russia also made other laws recently, like one that makes it harder for LGBTQ+ people to adopt children.
