The international community of lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and intersex people faces a systematic attempt to stifle their right to voice an opinion; that’s according to Charles Radcliffe from the UN human rights office (OHCHR).

His comments came after 11 civil society organisations representing LGBTI and other marginalized communities were refused permission to attend a forthcoming United Nations conference on HIV and AIDS.

It’s reported that 51 UN Member States objected to their participation.

Daniel Dickinson asked Mr Radcliffe for his reaction to the decision.
