Living Conditions
The U.S. Department of State's 2010 Human Rights Report found that, in 2010, "there were unconfirmed reports that the government carried out periodic roundups of individuals considered gay and lesbian, and gays and lesbian faced severe societal discrimination. The government accused foreign governments of promoting the practice to undermine the government." The report also found that "there were uncorroborated reports that known gays and lesbians in the armed forces were subjected to severe abuse. There were no known lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender organizations in the country."

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or conditions:
“More than a thousand years it is since she
Was beautiful: she trod the living grass;
She saw the clouds.”
—James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
“We as a nation need to be reeducated about the necessary and sufficient conditions for making human beings human. We need to be reeducated not as parents—but as workers, neighbors, and friends; and as members of the organizations, committees, boards—and, especially, the informal networks that control our social institutions and thereby determine the conditions of life for our families and their children.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
