Iraq's parliament recently approved a legislation criminalizing same-sex relationships, imposing harsh penalties of up to 15 years imprisonment, signaling a significant setback for LGBT rights in the country.
The newly enacted law not only criminalizes same-sex relationships but also targets individuals advocating for LGBTQ+ rights or engaging in gender expression diverging from one's biological sex, reflecting a concerning trend of repression against marginalized communities in the region.
