Via Harry's Place:
Iraqi police are accused of executing a 14 year old boy in the al-Dura district of Baghdad in early April.
Ahmed Khalil was accused of corrupting the community and creating a scandal because he had sex with men.
Ahmed was, in fact, a victim of poverty. He sold his body to get money and food to help his impoverished family survive.
“According to a neighbour, who witnessed Ahmed's execution from his bedroom window, four uniformed police officers arrived at Ahmed's house in a four-wheel-drive police pick-up truck. The neighbour saw the police drag Ahmed out of the house and shoot him at point-blank range, pumping two bullets into his head and several more bullets into the rest of his body” (full article)
