Anger after trans woman is raped and burned to death in Turkey...

This is Hande Kader.

She was a brave LGBT campaigner in Turkey, where campaigners say hate crimes are becoming more and more common.

This week her charred body was discovered as it emerged she had been raped and murdered.

The 22-year-old trans woman’s death has sparked widespread calls for greater protection for Turkey’s LGBT population.

Hande was working as a sex worker, and was last seen getting into the car of a client. More + photos...
