Three Iraq safe houses forced to close
No funds to pay rent or utility bills
30 gay people left to fend for themselves
London and Baghdad – 6 November 2007
Three out of five gay safe houses in Iraq are closing down, due to a lack of funds to pay their rent and utility bills.
The refuges were set up two years ago, to provide a place of safety for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (lgbt) Iraqis who have fled homophobic threats and attempts to kill them by religious fundamentalists and death squads.
