Many of us in the gay community are not shocked by such news. For a small bit of time slaughter and torture of our brothers and sisters in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan looked like it might be slowing down as the war against the Taliban brought about change.
Well to quote a cheesy sequel to a great 80s scare-flare, “They’reeeeeeeeeee baaaaaaack”
The death of Hamed Sabouri is the latest in a wave of attacks, with rights groups warning thousands are going into hiding or attempting to flee the country

And a good summary of recent law enforcement against glbtq+ both in Afghanistan and inn surrounding countries can be found in this concise series
The young man was stopped by the Taliban at a traffic stop, taken away, tortured, held for 3 days, shot, an then tapes all of these horrors were sent to the man’s boyfriend and family.
Being tortured by the police with rape and electric shocks is now becoming common-place yet again.
