Quote:The Islamic Republic of Iran arrested more than 30 men suspected of being homosexuals at a private party last week in the Esfahan province, the prominent Canadian NGO Iranian Railroad for Queer Refugees reported on Thursday.

“IRQR received several reports in the last few days and we were able to confirm that police attacked guests and physically beat them. Police detained the men, ages 16 to 30, at the Basij [Revolutionary Guard Militia] Station and then transferred them to Esfahan’s Dastgerd Prison. A few people managed to escape and we received reports that there were several heterosexual individuals among those arrested,” the human rights NGO wrote on its website Thursday.

Authorities raided the party in the Bahadoran district of central Iran and fired their guns while seizing the men.

IRQR added, “After a few days, all the families were informed by Basij that their sons were arrested for sodomy. A special prosecutor has been assigned to their cases and they were charged with sodomy, drinking alcohol and using psychedelic drugs. It was reported that prisoners will be sent to Esfahan’s Medical Jurisprudence Department for anal examination in order to provide evidence of homosexual acts to the court.”

The Basij is a paramilitary force used to repress dissidents. It played a key role in dismantling the Green movement protests in 2009 against a reportedly fraudulent presidential election. Iran’s Islamic law system prescribes the death penalty for gays.

This is repulsive, but this abuse is more prevalent in Egypt, and we pay them billions.

And how about tossing out Trump's appointees who SUPPORT this while representing the US at the UN.

Why not oppose persecution and arbitrary arrests of LGBT persons regardless of who does it? Even if it is Uganda, or Nigeria, or Cameroon, or Jamaica.....or Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, or Iran.

Russia is the worst offender right now, as they are currently presiding over a state sponsored pogrom on a genocidal level. One that is ongoing.

By the way, I support the Rainbow Railroad. Its a group that tries to get our people OUT of bad situations, in Muslim and non-Muslim countries where we are in peril. Visas and Asylum request are the critical priority right now. Sadly, we are left with moving them to Canada, because our own government is actively blocking our attempts to get them out of harm's way.

Trump's current policy is to send any Iranian back to danger. I ask you this....do you support automatic asylum for LGBT refugees from the Maghreb (where this issue is actually much WORSE), Iran, Syria, Russia, Jamaica, and West Africa fleeing persecution? If not....I'm wondering if some of y'all arent' crying 'crocodile tears'.

How about ANY asylum seekers from Iran.....you know the whole subject of the OP...?

Seriously.....what do you want us to do about it? While our government (one that y'all appear to support) blocks these people from safe harbor.

I give money and support to the rainbow railroad and support strong action in the UN. What are y'all doing about it? Other than trying to turn this into a war with Islam. The friggin' victims of this repression are largely Muslims themselves.

Seriously, what's your plan? If Trump isn't willing to even criticize Putin over state sponsored genocide, what makes you think he'll do anything constructive to help LGBT persons in Egypt, Iran, Tunisia, and Morocco? And what are you doing to help?

Nothing new here. FDR turned his back on the Jews. It's sad and shouldn't be happening but in the world we live in, realpolitik dominates. We simply can't help everyone.

Jews were discriminated against in the 1930s in the USA too. Didn't mean that it was correct for the USA to turn away the SS St Louis. Or that Jews in the USA should have not campaigned against discrimination here, simply because our government turned a blind eye towards much worse regimes.

Apparently, he's developing serious medical issues (thrush) and Trump's ICE is refusing to provide access to a doctor.
