An Azerbaijani gay couple was forced to flee because of receiving death threats after their engagement announcement.

A 25-year-old man said they became a target for homophobes after the media re-posted the Facebook photos of their engagement ceremony in Azerbaijani town of Sumgait.

They managed to flee Azerbaijan at night, he told AFP, not disclosing the name of a country where they live now.

Earlier this year a 20-year-old activist engaged in protection of LGBT rights committed suicide in Azerbaijan, saying he cannot live in this country and in this world any longer.
