Tehran, 23 Sept. (AKI) - Nemat Safavi, arrested almost three years ago at the age of 16, has been condemned to death by a court in Ardebil, in the northwest Iranian Azerbaijan region.
Nemat has not killed anyone, stolen anything or even carried out any political activism.
Nemat has been accused of having homosexual relations.While that was not stated during the court case, he was accused of "sexual relations that were not admitted".
A year ago, on a visit to Colombia University in New York, Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said "there were no homosexuals" in Iran in response to a question from a student.

Its my understanding that God created man. Since God does not make mistakes then why do you kill people because of their sexual orientation. Man created laws not set by God to suit their own needs.

Their leadership is insane. Its nothing but murder by the state, pure and simple. He did not "choose" to be homo any more than someone chooses to be left handed, i think they are just born that way.

Well that's it then, they killed the last Gay in Iran.
He must have been in hiding, or turned gay since the last time Amafuckingdickhead was over here spewing his bullsh1t at a University.
Do Mullah's fuking young Boys count, or are they exempt because they're "Holy Men"?

The right wing nutcases that will scream about Iran and these idiot ideas about homosexuals, would support the killing of homosexuals in the United States also.
Now, that isn't everyone in the U.S., most people don't care, but the most insane of the group will always have someone on their list of people to kill if the world was a diffrent place.

I don't think anyone deserves to die unless they willfully take the life of another. I don't support gays but they don't deserve death either.

Nor any sort of punishment, for that matter; unless they steal from someone, murder them, or assault them.
