UN under fire over treatment of gay asylum seekers

Two gay Iranian asylum seekers are being ignored by UN refugee authorities in Turkey because of their sexuality, claims the Iranian Queer Organisation.

Kamal and Reza fled Iran two years ago, the group said.

They had been denied the right to live together by their families and the state.

Iran's oppressive Islamic regime does not recognise the existence of the LGBT community.
