"Netherlands: Threat to Return Gay and Lesbian Iranians
HRW Letter to Minister Verdonk
On behalf of Human Rights Watch, I am writing to protest your proposal to lift the existing moratorium on the deportation of gay and lesbian asylum seekers to Iran--and to object in the strongest possible terms to any actual resumption of expulsions of gay and lesbian asylum seekers to Iran. "
Senator David Norris raised the issue of treatment of the LGBT community in Iran on PrimeTime on RTE three weeks ago - he commented on the disgraceful hanging of 2 gay teenagers in Iran.
But the Iranian influence is now in Iraq:
Sistani fatwa provokes terror against queers
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani of Iraq has issued a death fatwa against lesbian and gay people. On his website, he calls for the killing of homosexuals in the "worst, most severe way"
“Sistani is not even Iraqi. He is an Iranian national who has set himself up as a religious leader in Iraq. He wants to impose an Iranian-style theocracy on the Iraqi people.

Q5: What is the judgment for sodomy and lesbianism?
A5: Forbidden. Punished, in fact, killed. The people involved should be killed in the worst, most severe way of killing.
Hanged for being Gay
