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. This crime had a media repercussion in the country because of the brutal violence they exercised and the homophobic motivation of the crime.
This murder motivated the creation of the association Som com Som to start the fight for LGBTQ rights in Andorra.
