Assault goes unpunishedMonday, June 20, 2016 | Charlie Butts (OneNewsNow.com)
OAS - Organization of American StatesA group of transgenders at the Organization of American States meeting in the Dominican Republic has apparently managed to escape the law.
Gregory Mertz of the Citizen Go Foundation was one of the traditional values representatives there to participate with the different nations on major issues of concern. And he tells OneNewsNow a number of homosexual and transgender groups were purportedly there to do the same.
"This group of people noticed that the LGBTI working group, the Civil Society representing LGBTI issues, had hijacked the women's room for biological males to use the women's bathroom," he accounts.
That is illegal in the Republic, and when a 17-year-old Dominican man tried to explain that, he was shoved into a corner and assaulted, at which time a pregnant woman stepped in front of him to protect him. When Mertiz stepped in front of both, about 50 transgenders started screaming and chanting slogans.
"An OAS official finally got through the crowd and grabbed the boy and got him out. A biological man dressed like a woman came up and punched me in the rib cage," Mertz reports.
None of the three was seriously injured, but no one was arrested. In fact, there was no investigation or "even a statement of condemnation against this act."
The transgendered individuals were also not removed from the Congress. Mertz is convinced the groups participating in the violence should be banned from future meetings.
