A trans woman was stabbed in Baku

Incident took place in the Sabail district this afternoon. An eyewitness said that a person who came to the house of a sexworrker trans woman as a client, stabbed them several times in different areas.

The victim was taken to the Republican Clinical Hospital. Their relatives and journalists waiting in front of the hospital said that the patient was released by doctors shortly even while the bleeding continued. They were returned to hospital after the complaints from their relatives.
