ZAGREB, 11 May, 2021 – The Rijeka-based LORI lesbian association and the Rainbow Families association of LGBTIQ couples and individuals who have or want to have children will file a report with the local prosecutorial authorities over the burning of a rainbow flag on the City Hall building.
In the night between May 7 and 8, a video of the burning of the flag was posted on the Instagam profile “riječani.1987”, which is linked with the Armada football fan group, with the message: “This is the response to the newly-adopted law on adoption by same-sex couples.”
LORI and the Rainbow Families said they would file a report for incitement to violence and hate and causing damage to another’s property.
The two associations said they expected a prompt reaction by the competent state institutions, with LORI recalling that in 2020 it filed a report with the Rijeka prosecutor’s office over graffiti saying “Kill faggots”, sprayed on a window of the Rijeka City Hall after an exhibition dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the association was staged there.
