Pink Armenia achieved a groundbreaking legal victory, helping secure asylum for Salman Mukayev, an LGBTQI man who fled Chechnya. The Administrative Court of Armenia ruled that Mukayev, who faced persecution and torture due to his sexual orientation, must be granted refugee status. This decision, supported by Pink Armenia’s legal efforts, sets a significant precedent in protecting LGBTQI individuals from persecution, reinforcing Armenia’s commitment to safeguarding human rights, especially for vulnerable communities facing threats in their home countries.
