Iran International, Alireza “Ali” Fazeli Monfared, 20, was killed after his family learned he had been exempted from military service because of his sexual orientation. Monfared reportedly feared his family members, and was planning to move to Turkey to live with his partner before he was lured to a remote location in the village of Borumi and beheaded.
According to the report, the local Persian LGBTQ+ activist group 6Rang, or six colors, said Monfared had recently been exempted from military service due to his sexual orientation and an exemption card was mailed to his former home. His partner, Aghil Bayat, said Monfared had already moved out of the home because he feared some of his family, and only returned there to retrieve the card. How
