Dear Mr President,

Strasbourg, 24.01.2013 - “I was outraged to learn that a peaceful, authorised demonstration in support of freedom of expression and against a bill to prohibit so-called ‘homosexual propaganda’ was violently disrupted in the city of Voronezh in southwest Russia”, today said Håkon Haugli, Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) General rapporteur on the rights of LGBT people.

On October 24, 2012 the Khudjan city court approved the complaint of the local Department of Justice and delivered a judgment ordering the closing of the Young Lawyers Association “Amaro” (further – “Amparo”). The reason for the judgement was a discrepancy between the activity of the NGO and its charter.

On October 2, Ukrainian parliament passed through the 1st reading the Bill #8711 on so called "ban on homosexualism proganda".
In the frames of Coalition for Combating Discrimination in Ukraine, we prepared a text of appeal to the members of the Ukrainian Parliament
(under the reference in English and Russian).
