Iran Executes Gay Teenagers
21 July 2005
[link]

----------------------

Two gay teenagers have been publicly executed in Iran for the ‘crime' of homosexuality. One youth was aged 18 and the other was a minor under the age of 18.

Three other young gay Iranians are being hunted by the police, but they have gone into hiding and cannot be found. If caught, they will also face execution.

"This is just the latest barbarity by the Islamo-fascists in Iran. The entire country is a gigantic prison, with Islamic rule sustained by detention without trial, torture and state-sanctioned murder,” said Peter Tatchell from gay human rights group OutRage!

"According to Iranian human rights campaigners, over 4,000 lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Ayatollahs seized power in 1979.

Something has to be done, because this won't be the last execution...
We can save lives, only if we unite against human rights violations...

I understand how you can be angry aobut this, but when you say something like "Unite Against " a certain country, you are not just indicting the unfair government and its practices, but also the people, culture, and history. That includes the victimised people you are incensed about saving. The majority of Iranian people are just normal people who want to live their lives free from the kind of tyranny depicted here, but you do them no service in trying to rally the war cry against them. I hope in the future you will exercise more consideration about whom you direct your anger toward.

Thank you for your comments Joomba. I guess that there is a little misunderstanding. When I said "unite against Iran", I did not mean to "let's start a war"... (That would be such a ridiculous statement for a human rights campaigner like me...)
You unfortunately, totally misunderstood it. The message I wanted to give is that we should all unite against Iran, in order to stop its human rights violations.

I've changed it anyway in order to prevent any further misunderstandings. Thank you again for your comment, dude.

I agree with both you and joombaboomba.

This is disgusting, and there is clearly something wrong with Irani government. Something must be done, and yes, you are right, it's unlikely that this will stop. I signed the petition on rainbow.com, and I went to the AI website you linked but could find nothing on the matter (although I did end up emailing the president about Guantanamo Bay and the governor of Nigeria about the systematic abuse of women). I'd like to know of any updates on this, and if there's anything I can do I'd love to help (though I can't contribute much financially ;))

However, yes, you shouldn't say you're against "Iran". That includes many innocents and civilians, including, ironically, those very same boys who the Irani government executed in the first place.

I'll probably get flamed, but ah well.

These photos have been burned in my retina over the past few days. I only live directly south of Iran, despite the fact that I live in a bit more liberal country, I can't erase the scenario that I may be next from my head... I was already once almost arrested for making out with a guy I went out with. Homosexuality here, too, is illegal. I still get uncomfortable when a police officer is around, or even an undercover officer... It gets me headaches with all the thinking that runs in my head.

That is just sick, conservativ shit. Ok, I support Bush if he attacks Iran, as long it is a bit more proffesional than the Iraq war. Oh, and yes, I've read that Iran may be attacked by USA. Anyways, nice picture, with a good message.

Thanks for putting this up. I saw the bottom pic in some magazine. I was unable to stop staring at it. I was afraid that if i looked away i would forget the picture. I have shed tears for this for all the good it will do. Death of innocence is always knee bendingly painful
