Homosexuality in Syria is still considered illegal. Article 520 of the penal code of 1949, prohibits having homosexual relations, i.e. "carnal knowledge against the order of nature", and provides for a possible three-years imprisonment. However, instances of persecution are limited to nonexistent.
The Syrian authorities, namely the Secret Service, can use individuals' sexual orientation to blackmail, harass and eventually use members of the LGBT community. Law enforcement officers have zero tolerance to the LGBT community. (From Wikipedia) |
