Reviews - Want to review a bar or club, email back! News - NUS LGBT CAMPAIGN UPDATE! Love without Borders NUS LGBT 's Love without Borders campaign kicked off last week with an emergency demonstration to protest the harsh punishments inflicted on two young Saudi Arabian men accused of 'sodomy'. After being found guilty the pair were subjected to 700 lashes each as punishment. Around 50 students and LGBT campaigners gathered outside the Saudi Arabian Embassy in London to call for justice for LGBT citizens in the country. NUS LGBT Officers Claire Anderson and Scott Cuthbertson , who called the demonstration, handed a letter to the ambassador asking for full equal rights for LGBT Saudi citizens. Thank you to all of you who showed up at such short notice, especially those who travelled from outside of London especially to attend. For more information and pictures of the day go to: www.Officeronline.co.uk/ LGBT . We are currently working at on developing resources for LGBT groups to campaign on international LGBT rights. These will be launched at the end of November. |
