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.

Kesaria Abramidze, a renowned Georgian transgender model, was discovered murdered in her Tbilisi apartment shortly after the government enacted a controversial law restricting LGBTQ+ rights. The legislation bans same-sex marriages and gender-affirming treatments.
