The website of the Campaign to Defend Political and Civil Prisoners reported on Monday that “two residents of Jahrom city in Fars province were arrested by the security forces on the charge of homosexuality and taken to Shiraz prison.”

According to the website, a friend of the two says: “Ehsan and Sajjad were born in a northern province of Iran. After their music editor leaked the video of their wedding anniversary, they were identified and arrested. They were taken to Fars province court and after being charged with spreading corruption on earth, damaging public modesty, and insulting the tradition of the prophet, they were taken to prison.

There are other rumors about the two, including that one of them is transsexual.

Iran is one of the five countries in the world that has the death sentence for homosexuality and one of the 80 that has punishment for it in its laws.

According to the campaign website, a rainbow society activist says: “One of the two is transsexual so according to the Islamic Republic laws, it is not a marriage between two men, but a man and a transsexual. Therefore their arrest is illegal.”
