UPDATE: On Upcoming Iran Hangings
Friends,
PLEASE send this story to everyone you know. Perhaps with enough public pressure, the lives of these two men will be spared.

by Doug Ireland

The latest dismal news about the Islamic Republic of Iran’s campaign of repression Irangay_teens_7 against homosexuality comes from the city of Arak, where two homosexual men are scheduled to be executed at the end of the month, probably on August 27( although some sources claim the executions are set for the following day.)

Arak -- some 150 miles southwest of Tehran -- is a city under the strictest possible conservative religious, political, and military rule because it is the site of Iran’s heavy water plant -- heavy water is used in the Iran_nukes production of fissionable nuclear material and is crucial to Iran’s attempts to develop a deliverable nuclear weapon.
