Pdoggg Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 A gay man in Afghanistan was beaten, raped and outed to his family by the Taliban when he tried to flee the country. The man, who was given the pseudonym Hanan to protect his identity, was targeted by the extremist militant group when he tried to find a path to safety, according to ITV News. The incident occurred after Hanan started talking to a man on social media who promised he would help him get out of Afghanistan. Hanan spoke to the man for three weeks before meeting him – but it turned out to be an elaborate ruse. There, he was met by two members of the Taliban. The men proceeded to beat and rape Hanan, and even demanded he hand over his father’s number so they could call and tell him his son was gay. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/gay-afghan-man-raped-beaten-102625780.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
