HRC's Statement on the Orlando Shootings

Category: Press Release

Like millions of others around the world the members of the Human Rights Commission were shocked and saddened as we heard the news of the horrific attack in Orlando unfolding this weekend.  Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and all others affected by the terrible events of Saturday night.

Details of what took place and the background to the attack are still emerging but it is quite clear that this was not just a terrorist attack on a group of young people out enjoying a Saturday night but a hate crime - specifically targeted at members of Orlando’s LGBT community.
