The head of the LGBT Alliance Nefes, Attila (Javid ) Nabiyev met with the Deputy Ambassador of the Netherlands in Azerbaijan Ozlem Chanel.
In a press release, Nefes said that the Dutch diplomat expressed concern over the suicide committed by the head of the organization Free LGBT Isa Shahmarly.
During the meeting they held discussion on the rights of sexual minorities in Azerbaijan. Atilla Nabiyev noted the recent increase in the number of hate crimes. He believes that the reason for this is lack of knowledge, as well as gaps in the legislation on the protection of the rights of sexual minorities. As a result, there is homophobia in the society and on this basis crimes against homosexuals, and their victims are increasing.
In turn Ozlem Chanel said that the Kingdom of the Netherlands considers liberty a priority, which occupies an important place in the strategy of human rights.
"We, as an embassy, support your activities and can assist in establishing cooperation with other international human rights organizations," he said.
Recall that Isa Shamarly hanged himself two days ago to protest against the attitude towards him from others. -04D-

In Azerbaijan, much is said about the necessity of public and state concern for environmental cleanliness. There is even a Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources that sometimes reports on fining polluters of nature and settlements. However, when the state fails to fulfill its duties by not creating places for the collection and disposal of household waste, while also prohibiting people from dumping waste out of sight, a paradoxical situation arises. Residents are forced to ignore the environmental protection law, and the state cannot punish them for it. As a result, nature is destroyed daily.
