Where's the outrage?.....
Tehran, 23 Sept. (AKI) -Nemat Safavi, arrested almost three years ago at the age of 16, has been condemned to death by a court in Ardebil, in the northwest Iranian Azerbaijan region.
Nemat has not killed anyone, stolen anything or even carried out any political activism.
Nemat has been accused of having homosexual relations.While that was not stated during the court case, he was accused of "sexual relations that were not admitted".
A year ago, on a visit to Colombia University in New York, Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said "there were no homosexuals" in Iran in response to a question from a student.

There may be no homosexuals in Iran, but its still chockers with
muslims.

When asked if he had a final request prior to execution, Nemat asked to spend his last hours in the arms of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Request denied.
Mahmoud was breaking bread with fifth columnists in New York City and could not be disturbed.

Palin on homosexuality: "I'm not one to judge." Despite whatever her personal beliefs may be, she vetoed a bill that would have denied homosexuals rights because it was unconstitutional.
The "liberals" and "progressives" are trashing her, but ignoring Iran. Business as usual for the toxic left.
