Makwan Moloudzadeh, twenty-one years, was executed: Killed, unbeknownst to everyone, his lawyer and his family. Sentenced to death for the crime of sodomy, made only once when he was thirteen years, his sentence was suspended, at least it had informed the Iranian Minister of Justice, Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, expressing its intention to grant a pardon. In fact, the pressure created by the intervention of protest from many men and women, who in recent months have made their voices heard on Iranian embassies and consulates around the world through the various associations that were mobilized in defense of rights Makwan, had generated a small fruit of civilization in a state that does not recognize the existence of homosexuals. Among other things, the court came to the conviction by a court based on the testimonies that were later withdrawn, and through confession obtained by subjecting the prisoner abuse and torture. The court, exercising its option, namely the affirmation of a personal conviction that requires no evidence (elm-e Qazi), said he was certain that there was no penetration between the two. Hence the death sentence. In Iran, the practice run more towards those who manifest their different sexual orientation is the death penalty. It seems, in fact, that since 1979, the rise to power, the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini-Mosavi Khomayni, the senior clerics of the Shiite community, were "killed" 10,000 people for acts of sodomy. TEN THOUSAND, we want to repeat. Are ten thousand between men and women who were hanged or stoned to death in the name of a divine law inconceivable. You can be killed only because of their homosexuality, to perform a moral imperative, cultural or religious? Faced with this news not many words are necessary. In the heart of everyone can be a corner of memory for those who died unjustly and perhaps a bit 'of emotion.
