Friends, I am very sorry, but Turkey has become a country of murders. In this beautiful geography, beautiful people are killed every day. Please share this with everyone. Because Turkey likes to present itself in this way. #FıratDelikanlıTutuklansın

This is Fırat, a Turkish man live-streaming his torture of an LGBTQ+ differently abled person days after Turkey withdrew from the Istanbul Convention. Turkey has become an incredibly difficult place to exist for LGBTQ+ #FıratDelikanlıTutuklansın https://t.co/cTRS5xHVZS
