Human Rights report slams Iran for harassing gays

[davidinalameda]

Iranians convicted for same-sex activities are on death row and awaiting hanging, including several who were minors when arrested, Human Rights Watch said Wednesday.

A report by the nonprofit organization documented cases of arbitrary arrests, invasions of homes, mistreatment of detainees and the denial of due legal process to people suspected of nonconformist sexual activity.

Thousands of people are believed to have been condemned to death for homosexual activity since the 1979 Iranian revolution, and the public hanging of two men – one of them a minor – in 2005 for having consensual sex drew international attention.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was jeered when he said in a speech at Colombia University that homosexuality did not exist in Iran.

1. To be far they also have the same sentence

for women who are raped or wear pants. They are a religion controlled society, and that means that anyone who goes against the grain is forfeit their life.

2. Murdering Iranian Barbarians

When Iranians are willing to murder their fellow citizens, even their children, for any sign of being different, I'm sure a lot of things will not exist in Iran, including civility, judgement, sanity, moderation, intelligence, etc., etc.

Iranians seem entirely comfortable with murdering their own, huh? And this gives Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the audacity to say homosexuals do not exist in his country? Well maybe not too many if he murders them fast enough.
