[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 759380, member: 12952"] [INDENT][URL="http://www.jpost.com/International/Article.aspx?id=184169"](The Jerusalem Post)[/URL] — [B]Eighteen-year-old Ebrahim Hamidi is facing execution in Iran on charges of homosexuality, even though he has no lawyer and is not gay, the Guardian reported Monday.[/B] Hamidi was sentenced to death for sodomy based on “judge’s knowledge,” whereby a judge can use his discretion to decide on a case in which no conclusive evidence exists. [B]Hamidi allegedly confessed to the crime under torture.[/B] Last month, the purported victim of the crime admitted he had been coerced into making false accusations by his parents. Three alleged accomplices of Hamidi were aquitted after they agreed to testify against Hamidi in court, the Guardian said. Hamidi’s lawyer Mohammed Mostafaei, credited with saving 50 people from execution over the course of his career, was forced to flee the country after he sparked international controversy over another client, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who was sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, according to the Guardian.
