The director of LGBT United Macedonia brutally attacked on Sunday evening
Sunday evening, at around 21:00, the President of LGBT United Macedonia, Alen Shakiri, was attacked by two unknown persons.
Alen was going back home when he heard shouts and insulting words as “Fag”, “Homo”, “You are all going to die”… Realising he may get in trouble, he started running, yet, the attackers have managed to catch him and have started beating him in the stomach. Alen barely managed to run away, and to call the other members of the organisation. Together they have reported the attack to the police.
Lately, the members of LGBT United Macedonia have been a target of verbal insults and physical attacks by people aware of their membership in the aforementioned organisation, and of their LGBT activism.
