Being Dark Skinned in Beirut
Remember This Name: Antoine Chakhtoura
29/04/2013
News
Antoine Chakhtoura, Mayor of Dekwaneh, directly supervised sexual violence against trans women, arresting them, stripping them naked in his office, “checking” for their sex, and taking photos of them, not to mention sharing the photos with media outlets. This is an outrageous violation of the women’s bodily rights and we must hold him responsible. (Nasawiya)
