I don't often do this but please, please, please go and sign this petition 

Basically a 19 man (okay, lets call him a boy because 19 is too young to face this) is about to be deported from Holland back to the UK. No big deal you think, except he's an Iranian man who the UK want to deport back to Iran because his asylum appeal here was turned down last year. The thing is he's gay and it's illegal in Iran. His boyfriend was hanged in 2006 and before he was hanged he named Mehdi Kazemi as a partner and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. His loving father has also said he'll kill him if he ever comes back. The full story, told much more lucidly than by me, is here.

So please, go and sign the petition and maybe the UK government will do the decent thing.
