Iranian Queer Organization reports that a 21 years-old homosexual man from Iran is facing deportation to the Islamic Republic. Hamid fled country because of his sexual orientation and has been staying in France for about one and half year now. He was arrested by the police a few days ago in Paris and since that day, 18 July 2007, he has been kept in a detention room. Unfortunately French authorities are going to deport him back to Iran. They are dealing with Iranian Embassy in Paris about this issue. He MUST not be deported back to Iran, and he needs our support NOW. IRQO has been in touch with Cimad Organization in Paris so you can send your support letters and letters of reproving of his deportation to this organization, or to IRQO.
