EU: Ensure Poland and Latvia respect rights of minorities

If the EU wants 2007 to be "European year of Equal Opportunities", it needs to ensure as of now that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people can freely express, assemble and associate in countries such as Poland and Latvia. Amnesty International is concerned that despite public attention to a string of homophobic incidents, little has been done to redress the situation and guarantee the basic rights of LGBT persons.\n\n
