Subject: Need Help
I am trying to get information on the treatment of homosexuals in Belarus to
pass on to a teen who has lived in our family for two years and is afraid to
return. He never was "out" at home and had never met another homosexual
person until we found him support services, counseling and the like, here in
the US. He must decide in 15 days whether to file for asylum. He has no
personal knowledge to use for a case. I have contacted major human rights
organizations but none have specifics on Belarus and most don't track sexual
orientation abuses. I need to locate people from Belarus that would be
willing to write letters about their knowledge on this topic. Professors in
universities would obviously carry the most weight. We love this boy dearly
and are trying our best to help him.
