Bad Shit

This is a story I read about on Mike Hickey's live journal.



"Two gay Iranian teenagers -- one 18, the other believed to be 16 or 17, were executed this week for the "crime" of homosexuality,the Iranian Student News Agency (ISNA) reported on July 19. (The ISNA report is in Farsi, and was translated into English by the British gay rights group OutRage!, which released its report today--ISNA also provided the terrifying photos of the teens' last moments you see on this page. You can see an enlarged version of each photo by left-clicking on them) The two youths -- identified only by their initials as M.A. and A.M., were hanged on July 19 in Edalat (Justice) Square in the city of Mashhad in north-eastern Iran, on the orders of Court No. 19. The hanging of the teens was also reported by the National Council of Resistance of Iran."

the above text is from Doug Ireland's blog. He has another article here about some of the complications of the story, and the western response.

The whole story is fucking sad, and when I went looking around for more info, alot of the response on the internet was bullshit attacks on Muslims in general.

Mike is doing a performance at 7:00 tonight at the Basilica.
You should go check it out.
