Cash plea for gay Iraqis at risk of being killed

AllOut asks for emergency money to relocate gay Iraqis before they are killed

LGBT campaign group AllOut and the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) have made an emergency appeal for cash to save the lives of gay Iraqis.

The organizations say they want to help 30 Iraqis ‘marked for death’ because they are ‘perceived to be gay’.

But they say IRAP needs $65,000 (€49,000) to charter transport vans and open up safe houses.
