yes we can not show our faces but at least we have a man who advocate and presents us and yes ali the voice of the lesbians comunity of iraq we all behinds you.
Please please help give Ali his right to travel to suport our group and underground work in iraq , situation is extremly dangerous here i can tell you that iraq police araesting and killing gay men in day light and no one do anything about it.
a word from the south of iraq for the man who give us hopes of living with heads up in the sky , before ali group we all afraid and shamed of who we are.
No one belive that there will be group to support for gay mans in iraq in all history.
Ali, remember that you are our hero .
My heart and thought with you ali, please stay strong. i know you can.
Yes Ali, we all love you and wish you all the best, without your support and encouregmant , i could never stand up and shout i'm lesbian and proud.
we all love you ali here, what you did for gay men in iraq was something nobody will do in 100 year.
You are the pride of Iraq, pwoplw like you make history, you deserve best and all respect from me.
please let ali travel and support lgbt people in iraq, his work is very important to us.
You saved my life twice, this is a simple way from me to thank you mr. ali.
you are my hero. love from karam
you are my hero ali, i pray for you
Ali , you helpd me alot, this is my way to support you and say thank you
This man is a hero in the middle east, we all support his asylum claim in the UK.
YOU DO NOT UNDER STAND IT IS IMPOSIBLE TO BE GAY AND OUT IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES .
IT IS A DEATH SENTENCE.
Thank you for your help in my asylum case, you deserve to get asylum more than anyone of us.
Proud to be British Iraqi Lesbian woman and i fully support Ali's claim , Have mercy on this great human being.
a message of support from inside iraq, ali you are our hero, our hope and the future you have in your vision for a better iraq will come one day, believe me.
Please keep the faith, your fight is our fight, we all dream of a better world, a world with all people respect and love each other...
My heart with you my friend, i still can not believe this.
As Iraqi woman i find this so cruel to keep people waiting for three years while the evidence is there [Iraq is so dangerous for everyone , not mention gay men].
I was so lucky to know this man, he is my chilhood friend, a great inspiration and a unique strong personality stood out of the crowd, a determination for living life and bring a smile to everyone he knows.
He helped many many orphans and children in the 90's . May Allah protect you habibi.
Because of this man, i was able to accept myself as an Iraqi lesbian woman, i contacted ali in 2007 and he convince me to live and not to commit suicide, he gave me hope and life and now i'm proud to be a soldier in ali's army to bring respect and understanding to our society...ali my heart and thought with you, please stay in uk we need you there it is more much importnat than you be here. This brave and courages man is a real hero, not politicians who destroyed Iraq. Ali gave hopes to millions inside Iraq of a better future, of new future where many lgbt people lives in hiding for thousands of years, without Ali's work we could never get the courage to come out and be proud
