Are Gay People Going To Be Executed In Iraq?
So Says I Hate The Media:
“One would hope this story would sound a very loud alarm in Hollywood: More than 100 prisoners in Iraq face execution after reportedly being convicted of the crime of “being gay.”
“According to Ali Hili of Iraqi-LGBT, Iraq will begin executing them in groups of 20 starting this week. The London-based group believes 128 executions are imminent. They’re asking the UK Government, human rights groups and the UN Human Rights Commission to step in and stop “this tragic miscarriage of justice.”
Hollywood can’t step in to help because Hollywood is too busy with other things:
“Iranian officials have said a Hollywood delegation should say sorry for films viewed as “insulting” to their country.”
“President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s cultural advisor said Iranian film-makers should refuse to meet the group, which includes actress Annette Bening.”
Hollywood is trying to make friends with an enemy to freedom.
Hollywood should shut up until it understands the issues.
Americans should speak up for gay people in Iraq.
