Διαβάζουμε στην Καθημερινή για την αναστολή θανατικής ποινής 43χρονης Ιρανής για μοιχεία, μετά από διεθνή κινητοποίηση, είδηση που έπαιξε αρκετά και στα Ελληνικά ΜΜΕ. Φυσικά, ποτέ δεν έχει γίνει ανάλογη κινητοποίηση για ούτε μία από τις περίπου 400 εκτελέσεις (όσες τουλάχιστον έχουν γίνει γνωστές μέσω της Διεθνούς Αμνηστίας) ομοφυλόφιλων. Και, φυσικά, δεν νομίζω ότι και σ' αυτή την περίπτωση θα γίνει κάτι παραπάνω - επιλεκτικές ευαισθησίες.Αντιγράφω από εδώ.
Iranian Youth Sentenced To Death Accused Of Homosexual Relations.
An Iranian youth in Tabriz has been sentenced to death by hanging for the charge of having homosexual relations.
Mohammad Mostafai, attorney for the accused announced that three other people accused in the case were acquitted of the same crime.
According to Iranian law, homosexual relations are against the law and given the death penalty.
Mohammad Mostafai maintained that Hamid Taghi, Ebrahim Hamidi, Mehdi Pouran and Mohammad Rezai were accused of having homosexual relations and were sentenced to death in the preliminary court. Mosatafai adds after appealing to the Supreme Court, three of them were acquitted while Ebrahim Hamidi’s death sentence was upheld.
Mosatafai also maintains that the plaintiff in the case has said that his parents forced him to make a complaint and Ebrahim Hamidi has in no way sexually assaulted him.
Other reports from Iran also tell of the issuance of Sakineh Mohammadi’s death by stoning sentence for the crime of adultery.
Sakineh Mohammdi’s two children in a letter have appealed to the world to help stop the execution of their mother.
According to an Amnesty International report in 2009 over 388 people were executed in Iran.
