TGEU There is no safe space for Transgender People!Delegates of the Fourth European Transgender Council in Dublin harassed in the streets at night Mon, 09/10/2012 - 15:36 — Wiktor
http://www.tgeu.org/node/349 On Saturday September 8th three delegates of the fourth European Transgender Council where verbally harassed and physically attacked in the streets of Dublin when they were on their way to the conference party. One of the victims was Lauri Sivonen, Advisor to the Commissioner of Human Rights of the Council of Europe.
The attack shows striking similarities with an incident that occurred at the Third Transgender Council held in Malmoe (Sweden) in 2010 when delegates from Turkey where beaten up in front of a restaurant.
"This incidence is shocking for the whole conference" said just reelected co-chair of TGEU Wiktor Dynarski, "it leaves a bitter taste and again shows that there is no safe space for Transgender People in Europe."
