As it engages with accounts of the persecuted Iranian gay male subject as a victim of the barbarism of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the book addresses interpretive questions of sexuality governance in transnational contexts and attends to issues of human rights frameworks in weighing social justice and political claims made by and on behalf of sexual and gender minorities.
The book thus combines empirical data with a critical consideration of the politics of same-sex desire for Iranian gay men. Skip to main content Skip to table of contents. Advertisement Hide.

In March , Dutch Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk said that it was now clear "that there is no question of executions or death sentences based solely on the fact that a defendant is gay", adding that homosexuality was never the primary charge against people.
However, in October , after pressure from both within and outside the Netherlands, Verdonk changed her position and announced that Iranian LGBTs would not be deported. The United Kingdom came under fire for its continued deporting, especially due to news reports documenting gay Iranians who committed suicide when faced with deportation. Some cases have provoked lengthy campaigning on behalf of potential deportees, sometimes resulting in gay Iranians being granted asylum, as in the cases of Kiana Firouz [65] and Mehdi Kazemi.
Iran's state media have shown their hatred toward homosexuality on many occasions. In particular, Mashregh News , a news website "close to the security and intelligence organizations", has described homosexuals in an article as "individuals who have become mentally troubled in natural human tendencies, have lost their balance, and require psychological support and treatment".
One outlet, the website of Press TV , an English-language TV news channel owned by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting , formerly had a written policy that banned homophobic comments. In , former president of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad , speaking to Columbia University , stated that "In Iran, we don't have homosexuals", though a spokesperson later stated that his comments were misunderstood. And we live according to these principles. These are moral principles concerning the behavior of people in general, and that means that the law is respected and the law is obeyed.
Children The review noted many concerns, including discrimination against girls; children with disabilities; unregistered, refugee, and migrant children; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex LGBTI minors. Acts of Violence, Discrimination, and Other Abuses Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity The law criminalizes consensual same-sex sexual activity, which is punishable by death, flogging, or a lesser punishment.
The law does not distinguish between consensual and nonconsensual same sex intercourse, and NGOs reported this lack of clarity led to both the victim and the perpetrator being held criminally liable under the law in cases of assault. The law does not prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Security forces harassed, arrested, and detained individuals they suspected of being gay or transgender.
In some cases security forces raided houses and monitored internet sites for information on LGBTI persons.

Punishment for same-sex sexual activity between men was more severe than between women. According to international and local media reports, on April 13 at least 30 men suspected of homosexual conduct were arrested by IRGC agents at a private party in Isfahan Province. The agents reportedly fired weapons and used electric Tasers during the raid. According to the Canadian-based nonprofit organization Iranian Railroad for Queer Refugees, those arrested were taken to Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan, where they were led to the prison yard and told they would be executed.
Hate crime laws or other criminal justice mechanisms did not exist to aid in the prosecution of bias-motivated crimes. The law requires all male citizens over age 18 to serve in the military but exempts gay and transgender women, who are classified as having mental disorders.
New military identity cards listed the subsection of the law dictating the exemption. According to 6Rang this practice identified the men as gay or transgender and put them at risk of physical abuse and discrimination.
Additionally, the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare required health insurers to cover the cost of such surgery. Individuals who undergo gender reassignment surgery may petition a court for new identity documents with corrected gender data, which the government reportedly provided efficiently and transparently.
