"According to human rights organizations more than 4,000 gay men and women have been hanged in Iran since the revolution in 1979. Homosexuality is considered illegal in Iran."

there are no words to describe the absurdness lies in this state of affairs where on this planet in the 21st century humans are put to death because of homosexuality.

why is england the bad guy. We dont want to hang the fella because he is gay. Nor do we see any reason to take him in, why dont people seek sanctuary in there nearest neighbour rather than finding the country with the nicest social support system and then traveling through or over half a dozen countrys to get to england so our bleeding heart leftists can tell us how bad we are being for not accepting outher countrs problems.

Dear chesty,

Why is everyone not devoid of human compassion a bleeding heart liberal? No one's saying the Brits are the bad guys, we're just asking them to do the right thing.

Evil "leftists" always caring about people. It's getting out of hand. Now you're caring for people in other countries, too. What's wrong with you people?

Gay Iranian deportation reviewed

"The UK rejected his first asylum plea, but Jacqui Smith has now granted him a temporary reprieve from deportation while she reconsiders his case."

I do not believe the British Government will deport this young man. It would be a death sentence. It simply won't happen.
