Queer rights groups demand release of gay<\/a> Saudi journalists<\/b><\/p>\n

LGBTQ rights groups have demanded the release of two gay Saudi journalists<\/a> that have been detained in Australia. The two men<\/a> entered the country seeking political asylum from the current Saudi government which punishes homosexuality.<\/p>\n

According to the Bay Area Reporter, <\/em><\/a>the two men<\/a>\u2013who remain unidentified in current reports\u2013entered Australia last month. After claiming baggage at the airport, customs officials asked the pair if they intended to seek asylum. When they said yes, they were taken a detention center.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unacceptable that LGBTI people escaping threats and detention overseas are then confronted with that here,\u201d Just Equal spokesperson Brian Greig said in a press release. \u201cAustralia must be a safe refuge for people fleeing persecution, including anti-LGBTI hate and violence. This must also include a fair, efficient, and unbiased process for dealing with claims of asylum on the basis of sexuality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two Saudi journalists have been a couple<\/a> for 16 years. The government of Saudi Arabia has charged that one of the men<\/a> leaked stories and secrets to other journalists\u2013including a dissident journalist, Jamal Khashoggi\u2013that embarrassed the regime of Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Prince Mohammed bin Salman has come under fire for the murder of Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Turkey last year. Following the murder, Donald Trump praised bin Salman.<\/a><\/p>\n
