Act to save Makwan

A concerning the planned execution of of 21 year old Makwan Moloudzadeh for homosexual activity when he was 13years old. The execution of people for offences when they were minors is clearly totaly unnacceptable in a civilised society. More than that the offence is clearly one which should not be treated in such a way. The normal punishment for homosexual acts for boys aged inder 14.7 years is a flogging. This too is unacceptable. Also unnacceptable is the brutal and humiliating treatment inflicted on Makwan when he was paraded through the streets of Paveh riding on a donkey with his head shaved so that people in the street could shout abuse as well as throwing objects at him. The brutality of Iran towards its gay people is fundamentally in contrast with human rights. Furthermore it brings Islam into disepute and is akin to spitting at the Prophet when done in his name offers an along with a compose letter to appropriate figures in the Iranian leadership. gratify act!
