A petition has been started to lobby Turkey's president to address the 'honour killings' of gay and transgender people in his country.

President Abdullah Gul is being petitioned to act against the "systematic violence and discrimination faced by Turkey's LGBT community", the petition organiser said.

The Care2 petition's sponsor, Omar Kuddus, told PinkNews.co.uk he was prompted to act by the news of the killing of a trans woman.
