Civil society campaigners form protective cordon around LGBTQ+ campaigners as they unfurl flags and placards
Queer and gay protesters defied a crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights in Turkey to lead a civil society climate march on Saturday in the city hosting this year’s climate summit.
Turkey’s LGBTQ+ groups have faced increased persecution since September, with police targeting activists in their homes or at the offices of the NGOs that advocate for their rights.
