Gay Iranian's Fate In Doubt

Don't believe what you read about the UK goverment giving a second look at asylum for 19-year-old Medhi Kazemi. At least, that's what British queer activist Peter Tatchell told me on the show today. He believes the UK is just going through the motions -- enough to get Kazemi back to Britain and then hand him over to Iranian authorities. Tatchell urged everyone to call the British Embassy and put pressure on the British government. For more on the case and on Tatchell and his work on behalf of Kazemi visit Tatchell's web site.
