A new report released by the United Nations on Wednesday 10 February found Iran is unsafe for the LGBTQ+ community, with many queer people (including minors) facing electric shock conversion therapy, beatings or death.
The UN found treatment of LGBTQ+ Iranians ranged from “beatings and flogging” to “forms of psychological abuse such as enforced seclusion and isolation from friends and society, neglect and abandonment, verbal insults and death threats”.
