Alleged lack of effective protection provided to demonstrators during the International
Day against Homophobia and subsequent threats made against members of an LGBT
organization. According to the information received, on 17 May 2013, LGBT human
rights defenders, including members of the organization Identoba, planned a
demonstration, on the occasion of the International Day against Homophobia. The rally
was supposed to start outside the former Parliament building. However, counterprotestors bearing banners with homophobic slogans reportedly occupied the space an
hour earlier, and forced LGBT defenders to move to a nearby square. Following the start
of the demonstration, counter-demonstrators, who included Orthodox priests, broke the
police line and entered the square. The police escorted the LGBT activists into
municipal buses and drove away. In their attempt to reach the buses, twenty-eight
people were reportedly injured. Before and after the rally members of Identoba received
threats and one of them was reportedly held at gunpoint on 25 May 2013.
