Video of Iran Hanging Three People, Including a Woman
Words cannot adequately sum up and describe the revulsion I felt watching this horrific video posted over the weekend, and brought to my attention today. It shows three adulterers, including a woman, hoisted to their deaths, as a crowd roars approval.
Some people will criticize me for calling attention to it and linking because it's not "gay" specific, but I'm not a single-issue human rights activist and as an opponent of the death penalty, in all its forms and in every situation, particularly in my country of America, I feel it's necessary to witness how Iran carries out some of its executions.

Hi, this is Arash Kamangir speaking. I am an Iranian student in Canada and English is my second language. This blog is about Iran, as I see it . . . I did not upload this to Youtube because I know they’ll delete it very soon. It is very graphic. This is taken recently in Iran. Do pay attention to people who shout “Allaho-Akbar”, Allah is great. Great is obviously the last word I’ll use for any religion which supports this.
