Britain’s Home Office fails again. As officials debate what to do with gay Iranian Mehdi Kazemi, they may force 40-year old Pegah Emambakhsh back to the anti-gay nation. Emambakhsh fled Iran after the government executed her girlfriend. She faces the same fate, unfortunately. [Independent]
Shame…

I don’t know what they can be debating; they can’t extradite without bloody hands. Guess they’ve been around the U.S, torturing and murdering people unconsionably. (death toll now in Iraqw estimates up to 1million mostly innocent.) We’ve lowerthe bare considerably on decency: indeed there appears to be none anymore to speak of. The U.S should threaten an embargo-ha ha!

“If only Anne Frank had stayed in her closet she’d have been safe. “
The Brit Home Office is actually expediting the expulsion of young men like Mehdi and women like Pegah back to sure torture and a lynching at the hands of the ayatollahs in Iran. The Brit government claims that if Iranian gays are discrete and circumspect they have little to fear. No one claims to know how many victims there are but it’s likely that as many as 10,000 of us have been murdered since the ayatollahs took power.

Gosh, I wonder why they don’t just turn them over to the U.S. we have the best torture and disposal aparatus in existence. And we don’t need a reason anymore.
Seriously, thanks Jet!
