"Two Iranian men about to be hanged for homosexual acts in 2005
Iran has regularly executed people convicted of homosexual acts
A gay Iranian teenager who feared he could be executed if he was
returned home has been given asylum in Britain."
I've been following this case. I'm so relieved that he won't be sent back to face death. Britain has a shameful record as regards people from sexual minorities who seek asylum there; maybe this is a sign of change...?
