LGBTQ attacks in Georgia prompt push for more accountability
Opponents of the march wave a Georgian national flag as they block off the capital’s main avenue to an LGBTQ march in Tbilisi, Georgia, July 5, 2021.
After Georgia’s LGBTQ community faced violence at a Pride event in Tbilisi last week, politicians say more action is needed and urged for accountability. And, vigils and protests continue in India over the death of 84-year-old Jesuit priest Stan Swamy. US and United Nations leaders have expressed concern about his death in an Indian prison. This week, the Italian government banned large cruise ships from sailing into the lagoon off St. Mark’s Square in Venice. Also, we hear from German Ghanaian musician Marvin Brooks, with his latest track, “One Breath.”
