TGEU Lithuania: Stop proposed ban on gender reassignment! say Parlamentarians of the Council of Europe by Richard | Sun, 10/23/2011 - 22:45
http://www.tgeu.org/node/258The written declaration of October 5th 2011 (Doc. 12753) speaks out sharply against the legal proposal proposing to ban gender reassignment in Lithuania. The 30 signees find "this proposal is an egregious attack on the fundamental rights of a highly vulnerable minority, who are in any event at risk of violence and discrimination on a regular basis." They "call upon the Lithuanian government and members of Lithuania's delegation to the Assembly to work to ensure rejection of this proposal." TGEU welcomes this declaration by the PACE members.
