Nuno Miguel Ribeiro de Araujo, a 17-year-old openly homosexual Portuguese boy, was beat to death by two Spaniard youths aged 20 and 22, Sergi Ruiz Lázaro and Domingo López Acedo, in an alley in Escaldes-Engordany, Andorra, in the early morning of April 14, 2000.[1][2][3] This crime had a media repercussion in the country because of the brutal violence they exercised and the homophobic motivation of the crime.[citation needed]
This murder motivated the creation of the association Som com Som to start the fight for LGBTQ rights in Andorra.[4]
