MOSCOW, June 10 (Reuters) - A Russian court on Tuesday

fined U.S. tech giant Apple ( AAPL ) six million roubles

($76,510) for violating Russian rules on what Moscow calls "LGBT

propaganda," the state TASS news agency reported.

Russia in 2023 widened existing restrictions on the

promotion of "non-traditional sexual relations" amid a broader

crackdown on LGBT rights, part of President Vladimir Putin's

push to uphold what he calls traditional values.

Apple ( AAPL ) was fined three million roubles in two civil cases on

Tuesday, TASS reported. Apple ( AAPL ) was last month fined a total of

7.5 million roubles for the same offence.

Apple ( AAPL ) did not immediately respond to an emailed

request for comment.
