Ombudsman : LGBT individuals are limited in self-expression

“LGBT individuals are limited in self-expression”, Public Defender Nino Lomjaria told reporters on Thursday while commenting on the fact that the LGBT community in Georgia was rejected to stick banners about the May 17 activity.

“We observe it for many years that they have to express their opinion under the police cordon and as it seems, it will become totally impossible this year. I have negatively assessed this fact. We write it in our annual reports that their self-expression is limited for many years and they are under a high risk and violence,” the Ombudsman said.
