On Saturday March 22nd at 2pm Middle East Workers’ Solidarity will be staging a protest opposite Downing Street in defence of Mehdi Kazemi, a gay Iranian asylum seeker who the British government plans to send back to Iran on the grounds that if gay Iranians are “discreet about their sexuality”, they will not get in trouble.
In fact, Mehdi Kazemi’s boyfriend in Iran has already been executed for being gay, and the regime knows about Mehdi Kazemi and will likely kill him if he returns. We are demonstrating to demand that he should not be sent to his death in Iran, and that he should be allowed to stay in Britain if he so chooses.
Saturday March 22nd, 2pm, Downing Street. Nearest tube Westminster/Charing Cross
While the government has promised a ‘review’ of this case we must still keep the presure up. Communist Students urges anyone who can to get along to this demonstration. And why not take some leaflets for the Hands Off the People of Iran campaign with you? http://www.hopoi.org/resources.html
