The Gay Straight Alliance has filed charges against a group of thugs that attacked a lesbian couple and their friend. The three suffered severe injuries in the attack. Lesbians assaulted in central Belgrade The couple and their friend, a foreign national, were attacked in the park next to the parliament building on the night of June 28. In a statement, the Gay Straight Alliance says that the attack was a clear example of the violence that members of the lesbian, homosexual, bisexual and transgender community face in Serbia on a daily basis. The organization says that the three were initially verbally abused, before being physically attacked. The assailant hit R.B. on the right side of the face. After hitting him once more, B.O. jumped in to try and protect her friend. The attacker then punched B.O. and pushed her away, causing her to fall to the ground and lose consciousness. She suffered concussion and a cut to the head. As the attack continued, another individual approached R.B. and hit him repeatedly in the head. According to the Gay Straight Alliance, the thugs then approached T.B. who was sitting on a bench, and started shouting at her: “You Lesbos, you came here to f**k!” “Don’t you know it’s Vidovdan!”, “You’re sick!” The organization is calling for the new government, particularly new Justice Minister Snezana Malovic , Interior Minister Ivica Dacic and Human and Minority Rights Minister Svetozar Ciplic, to make tackling violence against so-called sexual minorities and homophobia one of their priorities, the statement reads. Human life, security and equality for all are basic European values and we expect the new Serbian government, that prides itself on its pro-European principles, to be willing to ensure that these values are upheld for all Serbian citizens.
