After remaining a missing week, his body was found last Aug. 8 with burns and mutilations in the streets of the Turkish capital. With only 22 years, was a practicing prostitute and was known for his political involvement in the defense of LGBT rights, suffering severe repression in # Turkey .
His image jumped to the international stage amid demonstrations in favor of sexual freedom in 2015, when police used tear gas and water cannons and activist planted the authorities face a high heel shoe throwing the police truck. According to the Turkish independent press agency, Bianet, there have been 1,993 transphobic and homophobic murders since 2008 in the country. Last year this nation stunned the world with the planned construction of a prison reserved for LGBT to solve the problems of discrimination faced by these people in ordinary prisons, is that despite belonging to the “developed” Europe in Turkey 80% of people declare that homosexuality is not morally acceptable .
the question, in the light of these facts and after the attempted coup and subsequent fierce purge carried out by Erdogan, if respect for human rights as aerated in other contexts is an insubstantial matter for other European partners when it comes to keeping the “belt threat” to Russia. It is recalled that US has admitted that NATO remains (possibly nuclear as Allied allow storage of nuclear bombs B61 on its territory) in the region.
“special weapons” The sad example of Hande Kader in any case is not an isolated event, only twenty countries tolerate gay marriage and remain cases where even punishable by the death penalty . The Turkey is an intermediate case, there is no legal persecution of this group but is still considered a taboo subject and often reprehensible attacks to occur and sometimes motivated by mere discrimination murders. # LGTB
