“Moderate” Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Egypt: LGBT mass arrests, victims suffer beatings, abuse and forced medical examinations

23

Ah yes, those moderate Muslim countries showing the West the way to our future.

The New York Times reports on it but never mentions the reason, the motive: Islamic law.

….recent mass arrests of gay and transgender people in Azerbaijan, Egypt and Indonesia, saying that the authorities in those countries had violated international law by detaining, mistreating and torturing them.

The roundups — of about 80 people in Azerbaijan, 50 in Egypt and 50 in Indonesia over the past few weeks — do not appear to be connected, but United Nations officials said they exposed patterns of discrimination and abuse that also damage broad development goals.

The authorities in Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku, have detained more than 80 people identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender since mid-September, reportedly subjecting some of them to beatings, electric shocks and forced shaving, Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, told reporters in Geneva.

The police resorted to other forms of humiliation, including forcing many of those arrested to undergo medical examinations and then releasing the results or details of their medical status to the news media.

Mass arrests of LGBT people in Azerbaijan condemned by human rights groups

Victims have been subjected to beatings, verbal abuse and forced medical examinations, their lawyers say

By Caroline Mortimer, Umberto Bacch, October 14, 2017:

Human rights groups have urged the Azerbaijani government to release dozens of LGBT people from jail after reports of mass arrests and abuse.

International advocacy group ILGA said it was hard to gauge the scale of the alleged crackdown – reported to have stretched over the past two weeks – but said the country was well known for its poor treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people.

Lawyers for some of those arrested said their clients had been subjected to beatings, verbal abuse and forced medical examinations, the group said.

The reports could not be independently verified.

“There is no justification for this indiscriminate targeting of people perceived to be members of the LGBTI community,” said ILGA’s executive director in Europe, Evelyne Paradis.

“(We) are worried about the fate of the victims of these raids, and are calling for the immediate release of anyone still in detention,” she added in a statement.

The government’s Ministry of Internal Affairs has responded to criticism by activists in the past by claiming that the raids were not a specific attack on LGBT people but instead a crackdown on prostitution.

An unnamed official told Azerbaijan news website Caucasian Knot: “In our country, sex minority members have never been persecuted”.

British gay rights group Stonewall said the authorities had claimed the arrests were part of a crackdown on prostitution, but activists said LGBT people had been singled out.

This is islam, as muslims get authority through numbers and activism, more of the qur’an is enforced. As there is nothing but violence in islam, it only gets worse as it progresses. This is the future democrats have for America.

Too bad Imperial JP didn’t level Indonesia when they had the chance — or at least pump out every last drop of their oil.

I always had sympathy for the way that gays were treated and not a little sorrow that some heterosexuals see them as warped and target material. If you are born that way what can you do? But the pressure that they now apply to “have their way” and the way that they handle dissent, has made me think twice about them. Now as to the above, I no longer care. let the LGBT and their leftist allies sort it out. I am kidding as no matter how many gays are thrown from the rooftops, nor women and girls raped the feminist/LGBT alliance will hold and they will say & do nothing to upset the muslims. They area s gutless as they are dishonest.

The same applies to the European citizenry which keeps electing the cozy coalitions which govern them.

very true, the dumb electorate also continue to believe in the promises of bluer skies and paradisiac landscapes that disappear in thin air as soon as the elected politicians are sitting on the plushy government seats….

well…there are INTELLIGENT and STUPID gays and lesbians, this also goes for others as well…I can’t believe that a true feminist would like to live under a total submission to sharia laws that makes them total slaves of husbands, fathers, brothers or other male relatives, a law that states that her testimony is of much less value than a man’s, I am therefore convinced that those “politically correct feminists” (and LGBTs) are nothing but SUB-IDIOTS, i.e. people whose IQ level is much lower than that of a full idiot, there is no other explanation.

They are just miserable pissweak cowards, terribly afraid of them and think that by cowing, crawling and appeasing them they may not get hurt by them. They are to stupid to realize that they will be the first on the rooftops.

The gay “leaders” are Marxists who have taken over (infiltrated) almost every gay political organization.

Same as “feminist” leaders, “ecologists”, etc.

None of them give a damn about the people (or trees) they claim to advocate for. They exist purely to rope in a particular voting demographic, to lay down and propagate the current tenets of political correctness, and to suppress dissent.

This kinda of doesn’t make sense. I thought Moslems were into sodomy, cross-dressing and pedophilia? Not too mention wife beating, donkey ucking, and honor killings.

Both groups are very similar, they try to force conversion by force, recruitment, indoctrination, or litigation. They both have high domestic violence and mortality rates. They also want racial protection and anti-discrimination rights when neither one is a race.

Apparently this is what the libs want in this country, since they strongly oppose Trump’s immigration policies.

Same thing Hitler’s Nazis did. Muslims and Hitler are two examples of the same savage ideology that aimed to rid the world of ‘unbelievers’. They shared a brutal hatred of homosexuality, while many secretly engaged in it, and other sexual deviancies.

What is “MODERATE” Muslim countries? Is that Muslims who DON’T practice or DON’T believe in their Koran? What constitutes a “MODERATE” Muslim? Is that the same as Obama’s stupid lies telling us “MODERATE” TALIBAN is our friends?

It’s time to free the world from the Muslim curse politicians have created!!!
