- Description
- Seyyed Ahmadreza Shahrokhi is responsible for hate crime against the LGBTI+ community in his role as Leader of Friday prayers and representative of the Guardianship of Islamic Jurist. The LGBTI+ community played a big role in the 2022-23 protests. Seyyed Ahmadreza Shahrokhi has defamed and degraded the LGBTI+ community with derogative language. In a speech on 21st of December 2022, he said: “The issue is not a few strands of hair [referring to hijab]… those involved in the background seek to sway Muslims towards homosexuality and marriage with animals. This is being realised through hidden cultural changes.” Mahsa (Jina) Amini was killed on 16 September 2022 while being in custody of the Morality Police of the Islamic Republic. In protest of her death, a nationwide uprising broke out in Iran which is still ongoing in various forms in different cities. According to the reports of human rights organizations, the police and security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have killed at least 537 citizens, including 68 children, during the revolutionary uprising of the Iranian people.
