This post will be a little shorter than some of my
previous posts. This is such an important issue, and I am hoping
that people all over the world will become aware of what is happening and step
up to do the right thing.
Right now, as we speak, the Greek government is detaining
people in internment camps. They started with migrants (who were
racially profiled). Then they moved on to drug users.
Next they targeted sex industry workers, forcing them to have HIV
tests. Their latest target: transgender individuals.
What “Operation Zeus” amounts to is a “cleansing” effort
to dispose of human beings Greek’s government considers to be
undesirables. Transgender people are told to “return to normal” or
be locked up. People are being incarcerated simply for existing.
Right now, there are 5,000 individuals who are locked up, and the
Greek government has announced that camp capacity is about to
double.
If this doesn’t give you chills, I encourage you to read
the history of Nazi Germany. Who knows who they will come for
next? Are you differently abled, or do you worship the “wrong”
god, or are you gay? Perhaps you have the wrong skin color, or
have strongly stated public opinions. Who knows… but this is
unacceptable.
After WWII, we all said “never again.” Now
it’s happening again, and we must put a stop to it. The question
is not so much “who will be next,” as “who is going to speak up?”
WE MUST.
I hope you will join me in signing this petition to the
European Union, demanding a stop to this outrage. To do anything
less is to be complicit in human rights abuses.
