"A 36-year-old photographer and stylist in Russia, Alexandra Kuzyk, was sentenced to 18 months of forced labour for "illegal production and distribution of pornographic materials" after she admitted to writing gay fan-fiction about K-Pop group Stray Kids."
"Kuzyk admitted that she had written the fan-fiction. She told the court that it was a longtime hobby. She was sentenced to 18 months of forced labour, and 10% of her earnings would be held by the state."
"According to LGBT health site Parni+, the fan-fiction was identified as relating to South Korean boy group Stray Kids, known for songs such as "God's Menu", "Maniac" and "Case 143". Kuzyk told the website that there was no printed version of her fan-fictions, and she wasn't publishing or selling anything at the time of the investigation."
"The sentencing is the latest in a string of cases relating to Russia's strict LGBT "propaganda" laws. Recently, a man was ordered to be deported after posting a review of a miniskirt online."
