Petition against deportation of gays and lesbians to countries where
they may be imprisoned, tortured or executed because of their
sexuality.'

I've signed the petition and hope you will.


Mehdi Kazemi, a gay teenager aged 19, faces deportation to Iran and
possible execution by hanging. Hanging by strangulation that can last
20 minutes rather than a quick drop and broken neck. Mehdi's partner
was arrested after Mehdi came to this country as a student and under
interrogation gave the police Mehdi's name. Mehdi's partner has since
been
hung. Mehdi's application for asylum has been rejected, he escaped to
Holland but the Dutch authorities are returning him to the UK and he
could be deported within a few days.

The following petition is one about general policy rather than an
individual as petitions about individuals are not allowed on the Prime
Minister's petition website. I hope you can support it.

'We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to stop deporting gays
and lesbians to countries where they may be imprisoned, tortured or
executed because of their sexuality.'
