Netherlands: Threat to Return Gay and Lesbian Iranians : Dutch Officials Should Not Force Choice Between Silence and Death
Dutch Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk's threat to end a six-month moratorium on deporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGTB) aylum-seekers back to Iran rests on serious misunderstandings of Iranian law, Human Rights Watch said in a letter to Verdonk. Deporting LGTB people to Iran would violate the Netherlands' obligation to protect people from torture, ill-tratment, and possible execution.
