One of Georgia's most well-known transgender women has been killed in her home, a day after the country's parliament passed a major anti-LGBT bill. Local officials say Kesaria Abramidze, 37, was stabbed to death in her flat in the capital Tbilisi on Wednesday.

The Georgian Parliament has passed a controversial law, criticized by the West, that prohibits "LGBT propaganda." The legislation impacts the entire Georgian LGBT community, including individuals undergoing transition and the doctors who assist them.

The Georgian parliament has passed a sweeping bill that seeks to curtail the rights of LGBTQ people in the Eastern European country. The legislation is virtually identical to similar laws passed in neighboring Russia.

A well-known Georgian transgender woman was stabbed to death in her apartment on Wednesday, authorities said, in a “premeditated” attack that came amid criticism of a government crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights.
