** Kiana Firouz, 27 years old, is an outspoken Iranian LGBT rightsactivist, filmmaker, and actress. When clips of her video documentarywork featuring the struggle and persecution of gays and lesbians in hercountry were acquired by Iranian intelligence, agents began to followFirouz around Tehran, harassing and intimidating her. She fled forEngland where she could safely continue her work and studies. She plays a starring role in Cul de Sac, a documentary film produced inthe UK about the condition of lesbians in Iran, and based heavily onFirouz’s own life story. Directed by Ramin Goudarzi-Nejad and MahshadTorkan, the movie willpremiere in London in a few days. Since thetrailer was posted on YouTube in December 2009, Cul de Sachas attractedglobal media attention, with thousands of views. Apparently, some ofthose views included members of Ahmadinejad’s puppet media in Iran. Theyknow who Firouz is and what she stands for. They want her to come backto the country she was born in to answer for it. Firouz, understandably, has requested asylum from the Britishgovernment. Much to everyone’s shock and dismay, the British Home Officehas rejected her application for refugee status. Yes, they know she’sgay. Yes, they know she could be deported back to Iran at any time, andthat if this happens, Firouz will most likely be sentenced to tortureand death after being found guilty of the “unspeakable sin ofhomosexuality” because she has participated in explicit lesbian sexscenes in the movie, and been a fierce proponent for human rights in hercountry. In Iran, the punishment for lesbianism involving mature consenting womenconsists of 100 lashes. This punishment can be applied up to threetimes. After a fourth violation of Iranian law, a woman convicted of”unrepentant homosexuality” is finally executed by hanging, oftenpublicly, in front of a howling mob.
