Further evidence of gay murders in Iraq- By Paul Schindlern (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
In reports in the U.K. Observer and on Britainâs Channel 4, reporter Jennifer Copestake has provided further documentation of the wave of anti-gay executions being carried out by Shiite militias in Iraq. These murders were first reported by Doug Ireland in a Gay City News cover story in March, available at gaycitynews.com/gcn_511/iraq.html. <br>
The killings not only target Iraqis known to be gay, but also young people who are forced into same-sex prostitution. Her reporting documents the murder of Ameer Hasoon al-Hasani, an 11-year-old who was known to have been sexually victimized and was subsequently kidnapped by police and shot in the head. Her television reporting included the death certificate of at least one other child murdered in this manner. Copestake explained that the escalating violence is part of a Shiite campaign against âimmorals,â which makes no distinction between voluntary and involuntary same-sex behavior. She also reported that high-ranking Iraqi clerics have urged death to gays on national television. The Iraqi Interior Ministry declined comment when Copestake asked about the killings.

Gays organize in Mozambique- Rex Wokner International #652 10/23/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
The "first ever ... seminar on gay rights" has been held in Mozambique,
the Agência de Informação de Moçambique (AIM) reported Oct. 13.<br>
As a result, a gay "movement" likely will be launched within weeks, the
report said.<br>
There is disagreement, AIM said, on whether to call the new organization
the "Mozambican Gay and Lesbian Movement" or the less-in-your-face
"Organization Against Sexual Discrimination."

Iraq: Baghdad Gays Fear for Their Lives- By Basim al-Shara'a in Baghdad (ICR No. 199, 20-Oct-06) 10/20/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Iraqi Crisis Report <br>
Baghdadi Gays Fear for Their Lives<br>
Homosexuals across the capital are being hunted down and murdered by Islamic militants and even the police.<br>
Faris Thamir carefully watches the street in his Al-Batawin neighbourhood, afraid the police or militia men might try to kill him.<br>
In Iraq, where religious radicals consider homosexuality a sin punishable by death, gays have good reason to worry about being â??outedâ?.<br>
Thamir, 35, is wary of the extremist Islamic groups that prowl the streets of the capital - but neither does he trust the police who are supposedly there to protect him. <br>
Thamir and other gay men complain about frequent mistreatment by police, accusing them of blackmail, torture, sexual abuse and theft. "Policemen raped me several times at gunpoint and threatened to hand me over to extremist groups if I refuse," said Thamir.

Netherlands welcomes gay Iranians- Rex Wockenr #652 10/23/06 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
In a reversal of policy, the Netherlands announced Oct. 17 it will
welcome most if not all gay Iranian immigrants.<br>
Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk previously had taken the position that
Iranian gays were not at risk of government persecution or execution if
they lived their lives discreetly.<br>
Verdonk said she had a change of heart after reading parts of an
upcoming Human Rights Watch report on Iran's abuse of homosexuals.<br>
A recent HRW press release stated that the organization "has documented
torture and executions for homosexual conduct in Iran."
