Helping Sami and Mehraj find safety in Spain
When Sami and Mehraj met, it was love at first sight. But, living in Azerbaijan, safety and security eluded them.
They were kicked out of their apartment for being gay, and were attacked and severely beaten multiple times. They constantly feared they would be arrested and tortured. For years, the couple tried to escape to a safe country. But each time they tried, they were unable to get the right visas and were forced to return to Azerbaijan.
In 2019, with the help of Rainbow Railroad, the couple was able to escape to Spain. Now, finally safe, they are beginning to pick up the pieces of their lives. They’re talking about getting married and having a family.
Sami and Mehraj now indulge in the ordinary pleasures of life that were so long denied to them, like singing and playing the piano.
