Death for Gay Men in Iran
by gryphon | September 25, 2007 at 04:38 pm | 720 views | 8 comments
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s seemingly ridiculous claim that "we don’t have homosexuals, like in your country" masks the cruel reality that his government does far worse than ignore gays, human rights groups charge. "There are criminal laws on the books in Iran that allows for people to be killed for being homosexual," said Paula Ettelbrick, executive director of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.

There was a video of this awful scene on the net about 9 months ago . If I remember, the boys in this picture were somewhere between 13 and 15. What your picture does not show, and is in the video, are the crowds - it was a lynch mob.

Well done for finding this Gryphon. I would mark this good stuff if it were it not for the hysteria that has made rationality and pragmatism rare qualities on this site at the moment {no criticism of you intended}.

You can sort of see the people surrounding the boys. Horrific scene.

gryphon, I like this story. It's good stuff.
An unconscionable violation of human rights.

This is horrific. I can't imagine how frightening it would be to live there.
By the way, I tried to give you a 'good stuff' flag but the system/ my browser didn't want to comply. :(
