Iran to Kill Two Gay Men By Throwing Them Off Cliffs

According to Amnesty International, the good people in the Iranian justice system are about to add another outrage from their prehistoric legal system. The group says that two gay men, Tayyeb Karimi and Yazdan, will soon be killed by throwing them off a cliff. The group estimates that 4000 lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Iranian revolution.

In May 2007, six men were sentenced for allegedly stealing the property and abducting two young men, who were later raped.

Tayyeb Karimi and Yazdan will be thrown from the great height while the other received 100 lashes each.

Iran has of course been a world leader in such abuses of gays and lesbians, click here. Indeed, as noted here, it has taken the same harsh hand to women accused of adultery.
