IRAN. GAY YOUTH SENTENCED TO DEATH

06 December 2007 :

a gay Iranian youth was sentenced to death for the crime of "lavat" (literally, sodomy), for having sex at 13 years old with another boy. "From today, every day could be the last for Makwan, from the moment that the Iranian judiciary told his family the place and time of the execution," EveryOne warned.
"An immediate international protest is necessary, one that includes the Italian Government, the European Parliament and all of society. We must make our voices heard in Iran and ask for Makwan to live. Makwan is innocent and the crime for which he was sentenced to death was his homosexuality."
