Russia's Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that LGBTQ activists should be designated as extremists, in a move that representatives of gay and transgender people fear will lead to arrests and prosecutions.

The move is part of a pattern of increasing restrictions in Russia on expressions of sexual orientation and gender identity, including laws outlawing the promotion of "non-traditional" sexual relations and banning legal or medical changes of gender.

The Supreme Court took around five hours to issue its ruling, after opening its session at 10 a.m. local time.
