An Iranian man was murdered in a vile homophobic attack mere days before he was due to join his partner in Turkey.
On May 4, Alireza was lured into a car by his brother, who told him their father wanted to speak with him.

The young man was driven to the village of Borumi, where he was murdered and beheaded by his relatives in a brutal ‘honour killing’.
Tragically, it has emerged that Alireza was killed days before he was due to leave Iran to live with his partner, Aghil Abyat, in Turkey.
