Gay Middle East News

The Prosecutor General Office of Khuzestan Province, Iran announced in a press conference that three people were hanged at Karoun prison in Ahwaz city, for sodomy on early Sunday, 4th of Sept., along with three other men.

Khuzestan/Al-Ahwaz is a mostly Arab province in Iran and has the highest amount of executions in the country.

The two articles that were used in the judgment were: 108 "Lavat is an act of congress [vati] between males whether in [the form of] penetration or of tafkhiz (the rubbing of thighs/of the penis against thighs)” and article 110 stating: ”The hadd [punishment] for lavat where penetration has occurred is death and the method of execution is at the discretion of the Sharia judge".

The state-run Iranian Students News Agency ISNA identified the three as: "M. T.", "T. T." and "M. Ch." (ages not mentioned), There are unconfirmed reports about the city of origin, as soon as they are confirmed we will publish more. We still have no information on the background to the case.

The three were judged in the revolutionary court of Ahwaz city, section 17 (behind closed doors). The ruling was approved by Section 14 of the Iranian Supreme Court. At this point we do not know if the courts allowed proper legal representation.

The three other men who were executed committed different crimes. Two committed a robbery at a home of a (straight) couple, where while the husband was tied up his wife was raped. The third for drug trafficking.

No, Maritza.
Life does not "go on" for those who died in 9/11, nor does life "go on" for those who spilled their blood in the wars we've engaged in since.


I hope your conscience keeps you comfort at night.

Freddie Mercury's Death Certificate

Freddie Mercury, 45,Lead Singer Of the Rock Band Queen,Is Dead

Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the hard-rock group Queen, died today at his home in Kensington here. He was 45 years old.

He died of bronchopneumonia resulting from AIDS, his publicity agent said. Mr. Mercury announced on Saturday that he had AIDS. As the lead singer and lyricist for Queen, Mr. Mercury helped to forge a hugely popular hybrid of hard-rock, pop, heavy-metal, cabaret and a hint of opera. In its mid-1970's heyday, the group created an image of playful decadence while fabricating elaborate studio productions on its albums, overdubbing multiple guitar and vocal lines. Mr. Mercury strutted and preened, by turns campy and almost militaristic, at the center of Queen's stage shows. A Group's Glory Days In one of Queen's definitive hits, "Bohemian Rhapsody," Mr. Mercury overdubbed his voice until it became a choir, with words like "Mama mia," "Galileo" and "Figaro" bouncing up and down the octaves. But he also sang dramatic solo vocals in hits like the ballad "We Are the Champions" and the mock-rockabilly song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." Queen thrived commercially from 1975, when "Killer Queen" appeared, to 1980, when the disco-style "Another One Bites the Dust" reached No. 1 on the pop-singles chart. Although Queen's commercial success waned in the 1980's, it was partly vindicated when the hook from "Under Pressure," its collaboration with David Bowie in 1982, was borrowed by the rapper Vanilla Ice for his hit single "Ice, Ice Baby." From Zanzibar to the World Stage He was one of a number of celebrities who had announced that they suffered from AIDS to try to increase the public's awareness of the disease. In a statement on the eve of his death, Mr. Mercury called on his fans around the world to join the fight against AIDS. Mr. Mercury, whose name was originally Frederick Bulsara, was born in Zanzibar, the son of a Government accountant. He rose to fame as the bravura singer for Queen, whose elaborate and occasionally bombastic songs made the group one of the most popular in the 1970's. In addition to recording with Queen, Mr. Mercury later released solo albums, including "The Great Pretender." In recent years, he lived a secluded life and resisted responding to persistent rumors that he had AIDS. "I felt it correct to keep this information private to date in order to protect the privacy of those around me," Mr. Mercury said in a statement on Saturday. "However, the time has now come for my friends and fans around the world to know the truth, and I hope that everyone will join with me, my doctors and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease." A private cremation is to be held this week.

Quote | UnquoteFreddie Mercury [1946 – 1991]

1. I dress to kill, but tastefully.

2. I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.

3. I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.

4. A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrical event.

5. Modern paintings are like women: You'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them.

6. I always knew I was a star, and now the rest of the world seems to agree with me.

7. What will I be doing in 20 years' time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?

8. The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.

9. The bigger the better; in everything.

10. We've gone overboard on every Queen album. But that's Queen.

11. I'm as gay as a daffodil, my dear!

12. Money may not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it!

13. Onstage, I am a devil. But I'm hardly a social reject.

14. We're fussy and finicky and have very high standards. If a song can't be done properly, we'd rather it isn't done at all.

15. I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It 's nothing new -- I used to spend down to the last dime.
