Integrity Joins TransEpiscopal and Other International Rights Groups in Support of Transgender Activists in Turkey

Posted by Integrity USA at 10:00 AM

Here is the story from the Associated Press:

International rights groups on Monday urged Turkey to drop criminal charges against five transgender rights activists and encouraged authorities to investigate the police treatment of the case.

The Rev. Cameron Partridge of TransEpiscopal has this to say:


"We stand in complete solidarity with the five transgender activists as they go on trial in Turkey.  We pray for their release, for the recognition of their human dignity, and that those who have treated these women in such a dehumanizing way would be held accountable for their actions.  As we move toward Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20, when communities around the world remember those who have died because of their gender identity or expression, we work to transform cultures of violence into spacious communities in which all of us can be who we are."
