A Year Has Passed Since Mexican Trans Activist Agnes Torres Murder And Still No Justice

A un año del asesinato de Agnés Torres –activista en pro de los derechos humanos–, el asesino principal está libre, el asesino menor de edad fue sentenciado a sólo tres años de prisión. El proceso legal sigue abierto, los tres culpables restantes no han recibido sentencia. Por si fuera poco, uno de los homicidas pretende obtener su libertad. Por eso es de vital solicitar que el acto criminal no quede impune, que los asesinos se sancionen y que el prófugo sea atrapado.

A year after the murder of Agnes Torres activist for human rights, the principal is free and an accomplice was sentenced but only received three years in prison. The legal process is still open, the three remaining culprits have not been sentenced. To make matters worse, one of the murderers sought freedom. So it is of vital request that the criminal act does not go unpunished, that murderers are punished and that the fugitive is caught.

Istanbul Trans Woman Dies Of Injuries Sustained During Police Retaliatory Attack

 This is what gendercide looks like.

The transgender community in Turkey is under attack by it's own goverment. In a apparent retribution for our communities increased visibility a transgender woman beaten during March 7th raids by the police has died.

I can't believe if the 5000 friends I have on facebook only four have 'liked' LGBT Istanbul! This is our family being slaughtered! Please if you care like LGBT Istanbul. Then really care by sharing, bring this human tragedy, this blatant gendercide to the worlds spotlight.

This battle must be joined by the entire transgender community and allies if our dear family is to have any chance at survival.
