Serbian gay activists hold indoor pride event

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Embattled Serbian gay rights activists on Saturday staged a brief protest and held an indoor gathering after a pride march was banned by police over far-right security threats.

Amid a heavy police presence, about two dozen flag-waving activists briefly appeared outside an office building in central Belgrade and sat down on the sidewalk for what they described as a “small, silent, non-violent and motionless protest.”
