CAIRO, April 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department
said that a law passed by Iraq’s parliament on Saturday
criminalizing same-sex relationships was a threat to human
rights and freedoms and would weaken Iraq’s ability to diversify
its economy and attract foreign investment.
"This amendment threatens those most at risk in Iraqi
society. It can be used to hamper free-speech and expression and
inhibit the operations of NGOs across Iraq," a State Department
statement said.
Iraq's parliament passed a law on Saturday criminalizing
same-sex relationships with a maximum 15-year prison sentence,
saying the move aimed to uphold religious values. Rights
advocates condemned the law as the latest attack on the LGBT
community in Iraq.
