May 2021 - This is Alireza Fazeli Monfared and he was only 20 years old.
Fazeli Monfared was homosexual and due to the difficulties he faced because of his sexual orientation, was about to flee his native Iran for Turkey, to join his partner who had already reached Turkey. They eventually hoped to get to Norway or Sweden.
On 4th May 2021 Fazeli disappeared. His mother received a telephone call to say where he could be found. Later that day his body was found. He had been beaten and beheaded, by his step-brothers and cousins, because he was homosexual.
Please remember Fazeli, and many more like him who are tortured and murdered because of their sexual orientation.

I saw it on many internet gay sites.
ReplyDeleteIt's always very very sad to see how such a barbaric religion can do such atrocities and kill someone just because he was loving another man.
The Islamic law and muslims are such hypocrites.
I know many of them that are living this double life having a wife and many kids she is the one to take care of and the husband is «fooling» around with other men for «fun».
One of my friend living in Istanbul teaching English litterature in a private university told me how they are such hypocites as they have even another appartement where they can have sex with other men.
What is even sadwst it to see how handsome and even cute was that young man.
20 years old and had all is life ahead to live with his BF in a free world he was planning to go to reunite too.
JiEL - Yes, it's very, very sad. I would like to see all religions banned.
ReplyDeleteMe too and I'm specially ashame about our Canadian Catholic Church that are not making any excuses for those 215 natives children found in a group grave in BC.
ReplyDeleteEven our Prime Minister is insisting so they do something to make those excuses.
The atrocities made in the name of religious faith are numerous and those ass holes are getting away with it.
Too many pedophiles and rappists are hiding behind religious shields.
One of the reasons that here in Province of Quebec, the Catholic people are no more attending churches and have turn their back on the Catholic faith.
As I told you, here religion is NO MORE in our politic spheres and have no more effect on our laws and politics.
Even the abortion that was settled in the far past of our federal government is not affected to those far right Christians from the west like Alberta and their demands are no more considered.
JiEL - Canada is so far more advanced that the U.S. is. No religion in politics is very good.
ReplyDeleteI too remember that when it hit the news in early may. It's things like this I read, where my temper flairs and Id like to drop a bomb and take the whole country out, as punishment.
ReplyDeleteHad I been a higher power, I would be relentless on humans. Till they learned a lesson...which as we know , would be never.
Any word on whether the murderers will face justice?
ReplyDeleteMistress Maddie - Sad but true.
ReplyDeleteNext Cliché - Sorry, I do not know.
Being gay is a dangerous lifestyle... thanks to the ignorant homophobes who bully, shame, and beat and kill us.
ReplyDelete@uptonkiong,
ReplyDeleteWhat is to mention is that gay men killings happened in so called «Christian deep states in USA» as bullyuing a gay kid of even killing him was seen.
Main fact is that religious extremists are not in phase with the teachings of Jesus who told to LOVE everyone no matter what.
Those who killed gay men in USA, did they faced Justice?
The same as so many black people were linched and murdered and those white Christians never faced Justice for centuries.
Today, we have cellphones to capture those murders and even then, those white tugs can get away.
What a sick society where, again, religion is the base of it.
JiEL - Your last sentence states exactly the problem.
ReplyDeleteWe also need to see more of a moral compass...society doesn't seem to have that any more. --E
ReplyDeletePire encore, il a été assassiné par des membres da sa famille et ils ont eu l'adouce d'appeler sa mère.
