To save Kiana Firouz's life by stopping her deport from UK
Dear Friends Kiana Firouz, is an Iranian Lesbian whose application for asylum has been turned down by the home office. Her appeal against home office’s decision was dismissed by the adjudicator with baseless grounds. Notwithstanding Home office officially accepted the fact that she is a lesbian within the refusal letter. Please sign the following petition to save her life before it’s too late Homosexuality in Iran, treated according to the Islamic law, is a sin in the eyes of God and a crime for society. In Islam generally homosexuality is among the worst possible sins you can imagine" (PB).The punishment for lesbianism involving persons who are mature, of sound mind, and consenting, is 100 lashes. If the act is repeated three times and punishment is enforced each time, the death sentence will apply on the fourth occasion. (Articles 127, 129, 130) The ways of proving lesbianism in court are the same as for male homosexuality. (Article 128)
Sincerely,
The petition has been a great success and has been signed by 8500 people in less than a month!!!!

An Iranian lesbian seeks a way out in ‘Cul-de-Sac’
„Cul-de-Sac‟ is a docudrama feature film which focuses on the breaching of homosexual rights in Iran, and in other countries where they seek asylum.

Homosexuals, seeking asylum, face deportation if they are unable to prove their sexual orientation is genuine…
We are independent Iranian filmmakers based in London and our film seeks to raise public awareness, worldwide, and to challenge governments to reconsider how the asylum system operates unfairly against homosexuals, sometimes with terrifying consequences.
„Cul-de-Sac‟ tells the story of an Iranian Lesbian who seeks asylum in the UK, and whose application is turned down by the Home Office. She has no place to run or hide…
