Hate messages against LGBT people and their ideology is on the rise in Cyprus, reports in-cyprus.philenews.com.
The human rights group “Accept Cyprus” has published a screenshot of a large number of comments against LGBT ideology.
The group said: “These are the results of fake news and the rhetoric of hatred from politicians and public figures."
“Accept Cyprus” writes that it "collected only a few comments that threaten to kill us, turn us into soap, shoot us, spray us, run us over with vehicles, curse us, wish death upon us, create an ‘Omega’ group to eliminate us, and more".
Human rights activists have appealed to the Cypriot police, the Attorney General and the Commissioner for Administration and Protection of Human Rights, demanding " public statements before we mourn victims".
According to “Accept Cyprus”, the situation is now "out of control".
As earlier reported, the newly elected president of Cyprus pledged to legalise same-sex "marriages".
