Teenage boy executed in Iran for gay sex
A teenage student has been executed in Iran for anal sex with another boy, Amnesty International has revealed.
Hassan Afshar was convicted of rape. But Amnesty says it may have been a case of consensual gay sex.
Afshar, 19, was hanged in Arak Prison in Markazi Province on 18 July, after being convicted of “lavat-e be onf†(forced male-to-male anal intercourse).
Afshar was arrested in December 2014 after the authorities were told by parents of the other boy that he had raped their son.
They also accused two other youths of forcing the teenage boy to have sex, alongside Afshar.
Afshar says the sexual acts were consensual and the other teen had willingly engaged in same-sex sexual activities before.
In Iran, men and boys who engage in same-sex anal intercourse face different punishments depending on whether they’re the ‘top’ or ‘bottom’ partners.
Courts also consider whether their conduct is consensual or non-consensual.
If consensual, the ‘passive’ partner faces a death sentence. The ‘active’ man in consensual sex is sentenced to death only if he is married or if he is not a Muslim and the ‘passive’ partner is a Muslim.

1. What ridiculous laws.
What kind of a person sits around contemplating the punishments for such 'crimes?'
A 7th century pedophile and his followers.
