"We are facing another case of a hate crime, and there have already been 61 murders of transgender people" since the end of Alfredo Stroessner's dictatorship in Paraguay in 1989, Acosta said. He added that, so far, "none of these cases has been clarified," despite the fact that in some of these murders, "the confessed perpetrators" of the crimes were arrested.
"We are still in a trans alert. Hate crimes are driven by fundamentalists, by this wave of anti-rights at the regional level, which is against all LGTBI people, and particularly trans identities, "said Acosta.
