DUBAI, UAE — (02-02-22) — Iran announced on Tuesday they had executed two gay men who were convicted on sodomy charges and who had already spent six years on death row.
Homosexuality continues to be illegal in Iran and considered one of the most repressive places in the world for LGBTQ people.
According to a report released on Sunday by the Human Rights Activists News Agency, the two men were identified as Mehrdad Karimpour and Farid Mohammadi.
Both men were sentenced to death for “forced sexual intercourse between two men” and hanged in a prison in the northwestern city of Maragheh, 310 miles from the country’s capital, Tehran.
According to HRC, Last July two other gay men were executed on the same charges in Maragheh.
