Gay Execution Back On In Iran?
Justice Flip-Flops, Reinstates Execution for 21-Year Old, Say Activists

Iranian homo Makwan Moloudzadeh's luck may have changed. The 21-year has been in prison since this summer for allegedly having sex with another boy when they were both thirteen. Though he had been sentenced to death, the Iranian Chief Justice halted the execution on November 14th. Apparently he changed his mind, because Everyone Group posted a distressing message this morning:

This evening, December 3rd Makwan’s family phoned Ahmad Rafat, a journalist of AKI – ADNKronos International and member of the EveryOne Group, and gave the alarm: Makwan’s case has been re-examined by the Judiciary Authority of Teheran, and yesterday, Sunday December 2nd, the dramatic sentence reached Kermanshah prison, where the young man has been held for some time.

“There is a need for immediate international protest action from the Italian Goverment, the European Parliament and civilized society. We have to make Iran listen to our request for Makwan to be spared. Makwan is innocent, he has been sentenced to death for his homosexuality”.

Moloudzadeh's family is, of course, "distraught" and join Everyone Group in calling for "immediate action". They're asking for you to send letters and postcards to Iran's chief justice and other officials. Those are great and all, but they seem a bit - timid. Send dog poop. No one wants fecal matter in their mail and would do anything to stop a steady stream of poop, even releasing a gay man into the wild.

We've included the addresses and such after the jump…

I would think there is a guilt complex in the
people doing the killing of the gays.
