After 6 Yrs in Death Row 2 Young Gay Men are Executed by Iran for Sodomy
This is a nation full of hypocrites who engage in forced sex with boys. I guess Navid was too old or just would not do it with one of them. Their long skirt cannot excuse the crimes they commit. No god there or here would forgive such a crime. In Florida, another hypocrite with silly homophobic Iranian ideas is making the state get rid of teachers and students that talk about what they are, gay. Let's not look like Iran and stop the homophobia (fear of being like us) in this nation and FLORIDA with a couple more southern states. Let's all be shame! Let's tell at least two people of what Iran did and Florida is doing..........(more below)
The Iranian regime executed Navid Afkari, a 27-year-old wrestling champion, on Saturday in defiance of pleas by the international community to halt this execution. What are the consequences and outcome for the regime? Does Navid’s execution indicate the regime’s strength?

Iran has executed two gay men who were convicted on charges of sodomy and spent six years on death row

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Iran has executed two gay men who were convicted on charges of sodomy and spent six years on death row, a rights group reported. Homosexuality is illegal in Iran, considered one of the most repressive places in the world for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.
According to a report on Sunday by the Human Rights Activists News Agency, the two men were identified as Mehrdad Karimpour and Farid Mohammadi.
They were sentenced to death for “forced sexual intercourse between two men” and hanged in a prison in the northwestern city of Maragheh, some 500 kilometers (310 miles) from the capital, Tehran.
Last July, two other men were executed on the same charges in Maragheh, the group said. It added that last year, Iran executed 299 people, including four convicted of crimes committed as children. Also in 2021, Iran sentenced 85 people to death.
Last October, the U.N.'s independent investigator on human rights in Iran, Javaid Rehman told the U.N. General Assembly’s human rights committee that Iran continues to implement the death penalty “at an alarming rate.”
Under Iranian law, sodomy, rape, adultery, armed robbery, and murder are among crimes that can lead to the death penalty.
