Twelve Men Face Execution for Sodomy in Iran

Ten young Iranian men, including eight teenagers, are currently awaiting execution for sodomy, and two more are being re-tried on the same capital charge. And, in an exclusive interview with Gay City News, an Iranian student gay rights activist confirmed for the first time the existence of queer organizing on multiple university campuses throughout Iran.

The information about the ten youths currently under sentence of death for sodomy (lavaat in Persian) was released on November 25 in a joint appeal by the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC), the Iranian Queer Organization (IRQO), and COC of the Netherlands, the world’s oldest LGBT rights group, founded in 1946. The three organizations called on Western countries “with significant diplomatic and economic ties to Iran, including Germany, France, Canada, as well as the European Union, to pursue diplomatic efforts to cease these executions.”

It is extremely difficult to obtain information about death penalty cases involving homosexuality under today’s repressive theocratic regime in the Islamic Republic of Iran, where the press is heavily censored and journalists, regime critics, and human rights advocates are routinely persecuted and arrested and where the subject of same-sex relations is officially considered a political and religious taboo. Defendants in sodomy cases are denied open trials. Last month, Human Rigths Watch, basing its finding on an Iranian newspaper report, told of the execution of two men for sodomy.

Why do some object to calling the language Farsi? “As for the politics of it,” Farnaz says, “I’ve always been rather amused by how the Iranian diaspora likes to call itself ‘Persian’ not ‘Iranian’ (deeming Iran more associated with the Islamic Republic than Persia), as in fact it was the late Shah’s father, Reza Shah, who changed the name of the country from Persia to Iran, meaning the land of the Aryans.”

I long to see this:

The Secular Democratic Republic or Persia

A MESSAGE TO REPUBLICANS: Don’t get your hopes up, no matter how frustrated we liberal leftists get with Obama and the Democrats, their inability to do real change because you obstruct it, we will NEVER, EVER, vote REPUBLICAN.
