The first Sochi arrest

Well the bloody Olympic torch hasn't even been lit yet for the games, and already there's been the first arrest directly involved with the games. This bloke was arrested would you believe, as the torchbearer went past, under Putins anti-gay "propaganda" laws. His dastardly crime? Unfurling the rainbow flag.

All the pics are here, following is some of them.

Welcome to the gulag Olympics everyone, where you can be arrested on a public street for unfurling the gay flag. What if it was a Jewish flag that was illegal? Makes a mockery of Putin's plea to the west that gays are welcome at Sochi. They're obviously not.

What the fuck are we doing going there.....
