As a candidate for president, Donald Trump called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.” As president, all three of his travel bans were challenged in court, and Presidential Proclamation 9645 and its accompanying travel ban was upheld in the Supreme Court.

List of countries under current US travel bans. Over 135 million people fall under the ban, the biggest being Iran with more than an 80 million population.

While Trump and other hardliners in his administration have been strong critics of Iran, citizens of the Islamic Republic possess democratic rights some of their Middle Eastern rivals, like Saudi Arabia, have yet to realize. At the same time, rights groups tell us that the country remains autocratic and life is difficult for minority groups, women and the political opposition.
Authorities have heavily suppressed the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly. Security forces used lethal force unlawfully to crush protests, killing hundreds, and arbitrarily detaining thousands of protesters. The authorities arbitrarily detained over 200 human rights defenders and imposed sentences of imprisonment and flogging against many of them. There are systematic violations of fair trial rights.

LGBT rights in Iran

In the era of “Gay rights” comes Iran’s 1979 revolution: the fierce condemnation of Homosexuality, including the death penalty under Sharia law, was one of the ways the new rulers differentiated themselves from the western decadence of the Shah’s regime (another, of course, being the severe constraints on women). There are no reliable figures for how many alleged Homosexuals have been executed since 1979, but thousands have gone into exile.

In 2015, the Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a statement about how Iranian youth were exposed to threats more dangerous than ever because of “communications media that can spread a wrong thought or comment”. Iran was “not involved in the military war” anymore, but “in political, economic and security wars – and, above all, the cultural wars”. Khamenei was not talking specifically about Homosexuality, but about the broader diffusion of western values into the country. In other statements, he made it clear that Homosexuality, and same-sex marriage in particular, were the prime avatar of this “stampede on human values.”

Iran’s Islamist regime persecutes and discriminates against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender citizens. Tehran criminalizes and harshly punishes same-sex intercourse, provides no legal protections for LGBT individuals, compels LGBT children to go through brutal “conversion therapy” (in some countries, it has been documented that medical professionals have subjected participants to involuntary confinement, forcible medication, and electroshocks, which can constitute a form of torture), and pressures Gay and Lesbian Iranians to undergo sex-reassignment surgery.

Consequently, Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Iranians are forced to hide their sexual orientation and conceal same-sex romantic relationships in order to avoid arrest, imprisonment, confinement to a mental hospital, flogging, and even execution. Interestingly enough, this also could be said of US’s close regional ally, Saudi Arabia, which is considered to have one of the worst LGBT rights records in the world.

The Islamic Republic’s legal system, including its Islamic penal code, is based on a harsh interpretation of Islamic law. Consensual sexual relations between two men or two women is forbidden. Penetrative intercourse between two men is generally punishable by death for the “passive” party, while the “active” party receives capital punishment if he used coercion or is married and 100 lashes if not. However, if the “active” party is not a Muslim and the “passive” one is, the “active” one receives the death penalty. Non-penetrative intercourse generally is penalized by dozens of lashes. Again, however, if the “active” party is not a Muslim and the “passive” one is, the former is subject to capital punishment. Intercourse between two women incurs a penalty of 100 lashes and is punishable by death upon the fourth offense.

According to the International Society for Human Rights, “An open and free life in a same-sex partnership is unthinkable in the Islamic Republic.”

It’s not official government policy to force Gay men or women to undergo gender reassignment but the pressure can be intense. In the 1980s, Ayatollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa allowing gender reassignment surgery – apparently after being moved by a meeting with a woman who said she was trapped in a man’s body. The concern is that gender reassignment surgery is being offered to people who are not Transgender, but Homosexual, and may lack the information to know the difference. Parents have told their children, “You need to either have your gender changed, or we will kill you, or will not let you live in this family.”

In 2007, then-President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad infamously said during a visit to Columbia University: “In Iran, we don’t have Homosexuals, like in your country.” In January 2019 a man in Iran was hanged after being found guilty of having sex with another man.

⚠️ ′′ I come from where the relationship between two #homosexual faces the punishment of #execution and whips.
I come from where all types of medical torture from “# correction therapy to electrushok treatment are still done on #gay and #lesbians.
I come from where being #trans is legal but trans people face the process of being medical and life.
Where the Islamic Republic has suppressed and punished #LGBT for more than 40 years.
As my friend Shamim said:
We’ve been breathing in the virtual space for years, finding each other and falling in love.
Although the Iranian #LGBTI society will no longer remain the victim of this system.
We take risk everyday and stand against #hate and #phobia.
This year’s #Virtual _ Pride _ Parade gave us all the opportunity to really be together.
Arad always said: ′′ To be able to hold the hand of our partner in the street has been our forever dream.”

This is part of the message of #Shadi _ Amin for the #world _ honor _ parade of 2020, due to the spread of #Corona on June 27, 1399, the 1399th of July 2020, virtual in the world. It was held.

You asked us to send this message to you in a video.
Here’s you and this video message of #happiness _ Amin for #virtual _ world _ pride _ parade with some of the pictures used in this great parade

According to Article 286 of Iran’s Islamic Penal Code:

Any person, who widely commits serious crimes against the bodily integrity of individuals, offenses against internal or international security of the state, spreading lies, disruption of the economic system of the state, arson and destruction of properties, distribution of poisonous and bacterial and dangerous materials, or establishment of places of corruption and prostitution or aiding and abetting in such acts, on a scale that causes severe disruption in the public order of the state or insecurity, or causes severe damage to the bodily integrity of individuals or public or private properties, or causes propagation of corruption and prostitution on a large scale, shall be considered as mofsed-e-fel-arz [corrupt on earth] and shall be sentenced to death.

“Iran’s Islamic Penal Code penalises consensual same-sex relations between adults by severe and inhuman punishments including the death penalty and flogging. Homosexual expressions either in the society or via social media platforms are also punishable under general provisions about immorality and indecency by imprisonment and flogging” said Mohammad Nayyeri, King’s College Researcher and Iranian Attorney.

“Alternatively, in more extreme cases, e.g. in cases against public figures, such acts may be punishable according to article 286 of the Penal Code which is one of the most dangerous provisions of that Code dealing with the offence of ‘Corruption on Earth’. With its super-broad scope that can be even more broadly interpreted by Revolutionary Courts, article 286 can be used to penalise same-sex relations by the death penalty,” he added.

 

Amnesty International’s online petition to overturn the death sentence of Alipour, an Iranian Kurdish prisoner who was sentenced to death in January 2009 after an unfair trial. He said he had been forced to confess to torture and other ill-treatment. Your action is effective.
