The European Court of Human Rights ruled on Thursday that Moscow's ban on gay pride marches is illegal.

The ruling followed a claim by leading gay activist Nikolai Alekseyev.

Requests to hold gay pride marches, described by ex-mayor Yury Luzhkov as "satanic," have been rejected by the Moscow authorities for years.

The court ruled that fears that gay pride marches would cause unrest were ungrounded. Alekseyev is to receive 29,500 euros ($41,300) in compensation.
