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 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.
