book for the victims of the recent attack on a US night club
in Orlando.
The embassy has now removed the photos from its website and from social media, expressing "deep regret" that the six photographed men were abused and forced to flee their homes, the Reuters news agency reports.
The photo had been captioned: "LGBTI community signing the condolence book".
