LGBTQI+ people who fled from Georgia because their sexual orientation or gender identity exposed them to death threats, abuse or curbs under new laws are at risk under European “safe states” lists which could see them deported back to danger, activists say. Lawyers and activists said Georgians may not have their asylum claims properly considered as their home country is deemed safe by a dozen European countries, including Britain and Germany. “LGBTQI+ people are not safe to be living freely without being persecuted in Georgia. Whether it’s by the government, the community or their family members,” said Ayesha Aziz, legal service manager at Rainbow Migration, a British NGO that supports LGBTQI+ asylum seekers.
