<p>We are deeply concerned about the treatment of the LGBT community in the Occupied
Palestinian Territories (OPTs), particularly in Gaza where they are subject to widespread
social discrimination for cultural and religious reasons. Homosexuality remains a
taboo subject in the OPTs. In some places, such as Ramallah, these taboos are relaxed,
but in more conservative areas the situation is very challenging. There are no laws
protecting LGBT people, however we are not aware of any recent legal cases being prosecuted
against LGBT people.</p>
