In the UK this is grounds for asylum. You are not alone.
What to do right now:
«The 2014 anti-propaganda law created an environment of heightened risk for LGBTQ people. ECOM documented a 300% increase in attacks against LGBT organisations and persons following its passage, including firebombing.» (ILGA-Europe Annual Review 2025 Kyrgyzstan; ECOM regional data)
«In 2023, the Kyrgyz parliament passed amendments treating content about 'non-traditional sexual relations' as harmful to children — expanding the 2014 law to a child-protection framework.» (HRW World Report 2025 Kyrgyzstan; Amnesty International)
«Police in Kyrgyzstan use 'fake date' tactics: officers pose as potential partners online to lure LGBT persons into meetings, then detain them.» (Eurasianet; ILGA-Europe Annual Review 2025)
In 2014, Kyrgyzstan adopted a law banning «propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations». According to ECOM and ILGA-Europe, after the law's passage, documented attacks on LGBT organisations and individuals increased by 300% — including firebombing.
The law created a legal environment in which LGBT people became vulnerable not only to police action but also to private violence, with no state protection available.
In 2023, the Kyrgyz parliament adopted amendments that extend the 2014 law through a child-protection framing: content about «non-traditional sexual relations» is now classified as harmful to children.
According to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, the amendments expand the legal mechanisms available to target LGBT people.
According to Eurasianet and ILGA-Europe, Kyrgyz police use «fake date» tactics: officers pose as potential partners online, arrange meetings with LGBT people, then detain them.
This method documents the systematic use of law enforcement to target LGBT people without public acknowledgement by the state.
