Belarus IDAHO Report 2012

Authorities in the Belarusian capital of Minsk prevented LGBT activists from holding three separate protests to mark IDAHO 2012, citing “technical” reasons and repair work near the proposed locations as reasons for denying the protest.
However, other IDAHO events did go ahead. Activists organized a series of educational and social events in commemoration of IDAHO 2012. They included a round-table discussion on “LGBT and education – The changing role of education in shaping LGBT-phobia and its transformation into a part of the solution, not part of the problem”, a film screening of the Italian comedy “Single Shots”, and a discussion.
