The UN declared that it was "Very concerned" after the death sentence judgement in Iran against two same sex rights activists. They are accused of promoting homosexuality.
Both women, 31 year old Zahra Sedighi Hamedani and 24 year old Elham Chubdar were condemned to death by a tribunal in Urmia in the northwest of Iran.
"We are deeply concerned by the decision to sentence two LGBTQ activists to death in Iran" said Liz Throssell spokesperson for the bureau of rights at the UN.
She lamented that the two women were condemned "on the basis of a vague charge of `corruption on earth` and denied a fair legal trial".
This verdict is often given to those accused of violating the religious laws.
Homosexuality is prohibited in Iran, whose penal code punishes sexual relations between men and between women.
But the punishments for Sedighi Hamedani and Elham Chubadar are especially severe. Amnesty International and other Non-governmental Organisations are opposing these sentences.
The NGO Human Rights in Iran (based in Norway) declared, that the lives of both activists "can be saved by the immediate and forceful reaction of the international community and civil society".

Iranian judiciary has sentenced two LGBTQI activists to death for corruption on earth
6Rang calls for the immediate retraction of the death sentence, and the release of Zahra Sadighi Hamedani (Sareh) and Elham Choubdar.
Sareh and Elham were sentenced to death last week due to their work as LGBTQI rights activists, under fabricated charges. The Islamic Republic of Iran has a long record of repressing activists in this field, as well as ordering executions based on false charges.

UN deklaris sin « tre maltrankvila »
post la kondamno al morto decidita en Irano kontraŭ du aktivulinoj pri
rajtoj de samseksemuloj. Ili estas akuzitaj fari promocion de
samseksemo.
Ambaŭ virinoj, Zahra Sedighi Hamedani, 31-jara kaj Elham Chubdar, 24-jara estis kondamnitaj al morto fare de tribunalo de Urmijo, nord-okcidente de la lando.
« Ni estas profunde maltrankvilaj pro la kondamno al morto decidita kontraŭ du GLATaj aktivulinoj en Irano », deklaris Liz Throssell, porparolanto de la buroo de la rajtoj ĉe UN.
Ŝi bedaŭris, ke ambaŭ virinoj estis kondamnitaj « surbaze
de la malklara akuzo nomita "koruptado sur la Tero", post proceso, kiu
ne estis garantiata de laŭleĝa kaj justa procesa proceduro ».
Tiu verdikto estas ofta en Irano kontraŭ personoj akuzataj, ke ili malobservis la religiajn leĝojn.
Samseksemo estas malpermesita en Irano, ĝia punkodo punas la seksajn rilatojn inter viroj kaj inter virinoj.
Sed la punoj deciditaj kontraŭ Sedighi Hamedani kaj Elham Chubdar estas aparte severaj. Internacia Amnestio kaj aliaj NeRegistaraj Organizaĵoj jam kontraŭis tiujn kondamnojn.
La NRO Iran Human Rights, bazita en Norvegio deklaris, ke la vivo de ambaŭ aktivulinoj « povas esti savita per tujaj kaj fortaj reagoj de la internacia komunumo kaj de la civita socio ».

(Transcription follows:) Sylvia Rivera: I may be— Crowd: [booing] Sylvia Rivera: Y'all better quiet down. I’ve been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail that write me every motherfucking week and ask for your help and you all don’t do a goddamn thing for them. Have you ever been beaten up and raped and jailed? Now think about it. They’ve been beaten up and raped after they’ve had to spend much of their money in jail to get their hormones, and try to get their sex changes. The women have tried to fight for their sex changes or to become women. On the women’s liberation and they write ‘STAR,’ not to the women’s groups, they do not write women, they do not write men, they write ‘STAR’ because we're trying to do somethi...
Published in the 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, written by Peter Kropotkin. ANARCHISM (from the Gr. an and archos , contrary to authority), the name given to a principle or theory of life and conduct under which society is conceived without government – harmony in such a society being obtained, not by submission to law, or by obedience to any authority, but by free agreements concluded between the various groups, territorial and professional, freely constituted for the sake of production and consumption, as also for the satisfaction of the infinite variety of needs and aspirations of a civilized being. In a society developed on these lines, the voluntary associations which already now begin to cover all the fields of human activity would take a still greater extension so as to substitute themselves for the state in all its functions. They would represent an interwoven network, composed of an infinite variety of groups and fe...
A Russian Esperantist's thoughts on the invasion of Ukraine. About the war Undoubtedly, February 24, 2022 will remain for a long time one of the most embarrassing dates in Russian history. However, it will be shameful not only for Russia. For the last hundred years, Western authorities have at least sometimes preferred to choose dishonour over war. As a result, however, they have received disgrace and world war. Alas, but no one understood anything. Apparently today's elites do not understand that it is not always possible to overcome evil with the help of business tricks. If in the wake of current events Putin's tanks come to Berlin and Paris, this will be at least fair. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes of resistance past, present and future! [End translation] This was written early in the conflict before it became clear how much trouble the Russian Armed Forces invasion was in. I won't give out any information that could be used to identify the speaker, as the pena...
