"According to Hassan and M.M., another gay Iraqi who fled to Jordan and eventually made his way to Lebanon, Moqtada al-Sadr was given the green light from the government to attack homosexuals after video footage of a private party attended by gays, lesbians and transsexuals began circulating Iraq. Neither had attended the party or seen the footage, but several others confirmed they had heard the rumor. The BBC recently posted a number of videos depicting homosexuals and cross dressers being harassed by security forces..."The government and the Mahdi Army are working together to kill [homosexuals]."" We need press coverage of the Iraqis who are killed by American occupation troops and the puppet Iraqi troops. Those cases don't get any coverage. (thanks Meris)
