Thank you, Mr. Sweet, for your question.
Yes, there are some NGOs and they are all trying to do a lot of good in the community. But most of us in our efforts to drive forward legislation, some sort of change, have been defeated. We've ended up leaving the country.
One individual--the individual who made it to Sweden--used to have a clinic. I don't have the details on how it was funded, but it used to get some sort of funding to help the GLBT community on issues of HIV and other ailments. That supported the GLBT community. He ended up leaving the clinic behind. He couldn't run it any longer because he was being hounded, he was being harassed. He was detained a couple of times. He was outed too many times and shamed in his community and to his family. He is Muslim, by the way, so you can imagine what he had to endure. This is an individual who had a clinic, who thought he would do a lot of good and help the community, but his work was frustrated. He had to leave and abandon everything.
He is not the first to have done that. There are many like him who left before him, and even the ones who are there, yes, they're doing their bit to bring about change. At least the activists have that protection that if things do get worse, they can quickly go to the Netherlands embassy, they can go to the French embassy, and seek immediate protection because they are already known figures. It's the silent voices who are not known who are really suffering here.
So that is the situation at the moment.
