The danger now facing LGBT people in Afghanistan—in an environment devoid of legal protections, under authorities that have explicitly pledged not to tolerate LGBT people—is grave. Together we can raise awareness , so join us at our Twitter space.

This is a historic moment because it is the first time in history that the ICC has officially recognized the crimes committed against LGBTIQ+ people. This application for an arrest warrant sends a strong message that the international community rejects the gender persecution of LGBTIQ+ people!
Yesterday I spoke at the UN Human Rights Council regarding the Taliban’s public flogging of people on charges of homosexuality and the dire situation of LGBTIQ people in Afghanistan.
Taliban publically whipped two people on charges of “sodomy” in Maidan Wardak province on Saturday, according to a statement by the Taliban-run Supreme Court said.
The statement said that each individual was hit 39 lashes and was sentenced to two years in prison.
Within the past two weeks, Taliban has publically flogged around 30 people in various provinces.

Thank you dear Mrs. @ZahraYusufi, @ZanTimes, and @ZANTV for given me opportunities to share my pain with you more easily.
Thanks for publishing my life story, which is full of pain.
Thank you for advocating the Afghan LGBT.

دیروز در شورای حقوق بشر سازمان ملل متحد، از گزارش جدید ریچارد بنت، گزارشگر ویژه سازمان ملل استقبال کردم.
گزارش جدید ایشان به صورت دقیق به وضعیت وخیم افراد الجیبیتیکیو در افغانستان اشاره میکند.

L'UE : le plus grand espace protecteur pour les personnes Lgbt+. Excellente réunion ce jour avec Susanne Knöfel, cheffe de l'Unité non-discrimination à @EU_Commission, et 20 associations françaises. Pour faire le point sur la stratégie #LGBTIQ de la CE et les financements.
La Cour suprême de Maurice déclare inconstitutionnelle la criminalisation des relations homosexuelles. Une victoire pour les droits de la personne humaine. Un message fort aux pays qui criminalisent encore. Ces lois doivent être abrogées et la dépénalisation devenir universelle.
با مهره فبی ، هم صدا شویم!
او پرچم بدستِ جامعه ی است که که تمام ادیان و تمام خداباوران جهان مقابلش ایستاده اند
وجودش را انکار می کنند و می خواهند سر به تن اش نباشد
اما این رسالت بزرگی است که او شهامت و غیرت اش را داشته است
بیایید از وی حمایت کنیم

Support for the wonderful @ShamsFranceLgbt team. I told them that French diplomacy was fully mobilized in the Maghreb and the Middle East to defend the human rights of #LGBT + persons. @francediplo_EN
