Alexander Bard is here calling attention to persecution of LGBT activists by the Belarusan government. He reports that until now, the government had taken little interest in gay folk, but now that an activist group has asked for recognition, its leaders have been targeted for extremely harsh treatment. He is calling here for outside pressure on behalf of LGBT people in Belarus. His primary interest in this piece is on Swedens response, but this is a matter that should be a concern beyond Swedens borders as well. I encourage you to Google-translate it for much greater detail.
