Rainbow flag unfurled in Viljandi despite city council ban

A large rainbow-coloured banner was unfurled outside Ugala Theatre in Viljandi on Monday, despite a prohibition issued by the city council. The Ugala Theatre supported the event and provided its premises.

A striking protest took place in Viljandi on Monday as a giant rainbow-coloured banner was unfurled in front of Ugala Theatre. The action proceeded despite the fact that Viljandi city council had banned its implementation.

The Ugala Theatre helped bring the event to life, providing its support and premises. The rainbow-coloured banner has become widely recognized as a symbol of the LGBTQ+ community, and its unfurling has sparked heated debates in Viljandi.

The city council's ban did not succeed in stopping the activists, and the banner was unfurled at the scheduled time. The event drew attention from both local and wider audiences, becoming a discussion about community space usage and freedom of expression in Estonia.
