The United Nations Security council has held a ground-breaking
meeting to discuss the plight of homosexuals in lands occupied by ISIL.
Diplomats heard from Syrian refugee Subhi Nahas who told how men
suspected of being gay would be thrown from buildings and stoned to
death if they survived the fall.
“This was to be my fate, too,” Nahas told a closed-door informal
meeting. The meeting was organised by the US and Chile to draw attention
to “brutal attacks” by the militants.
“I was terrified to go out. Nor was my home safe, as my father, who
suspiciously monitored my every move, had learned I was gay. I bear a
scar on my chin as a token of his rage,” said Nahas, according to a text
of his prepared remarks.
