I'm copying this wholesale from griffen. Basically, if you have ever wanted the chance to beg people not to send a 19-year-old kid to his certain death for being gay, now is your chance.

As the entry I stole this from says:

"You send a bazillion emails every day, what is one more?

Take a few to contact the UK Home Office, if you would, to suggest that sending a 19-year-old gay man back to Iran, after his partner was hanged there -- after naming him as his partner for the 'homosexual acts' that got him killed -- is not in line with freedom or liberation etc. The kid's father has said if the government doesn't kill the young man, he'll do the job himself.

Kid's going to get sent back to Britain from Holland in the next 72 hours, and from there deported back to Iran to swing at the end of a rope.

It's two minutes, people. Send an email. Consider it the birthday present you never sent to me. Then post it on your blog and we'll be caught up for all those Christmases too. Do it."

Emails go to public.enquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. Phone number is *probably*, if google is helping me today, 020 7035 4848.

If you happen to be a potentially voting member of the British population, be sure to mention that in your email, or if you don't have a British accent, tell them when you call.

Edit: Another link. When you make your phone call or email, be sure to include mention of Pegah Emambakhsh, who is in a similar situation. If anybody can give me a better phone number or email, I'll update again.
