Protests Over Iran Hangings

The reaction to the two Iranian teenagers hanged for being gay continues. Doug Ireland, over at the DIRELAND blog, reports on planned protests, and gives useful background information to the homophobic atmosphere that pervades Iran at the moment.

    will we ever know the truth about the teen hangings??????????? i doubt it very much. Even now speculation that they were hanged at all is going round. where can pictures be to convince people that the two boys were hung and did not deserve to die this way!!!!!!

    If these pictures aren’t enough, then I suspect that no matter what evidence you had, some people would say it didn’t happen. After all, some people refuse to be convinced that man has not walked on the moon, or that the earth is older than 6,000 years. The two teenagers were not the first, nor will they be the last to die in this way, and there will always be those who say it didn’t happen (or, to my mind, even worse, will say that they deserved hanging for being gay).
