19/10/2007: LGBT Human Rights Group Outrage! called for a protest outside the London Saudi Arabia Embassy as two men convicted of sodomy face 7000 lashes for their so called crime.
A small but lively demonstration with some entertaining chants, which is like a breath of fresh air when you spend most of your working time hearing the same protest chants over and over again.
My favourite: "King Abdullah might be gay, but that's okay."
Human Rights campaigner and Green Party member, Peter Tatchell, attended the protest, gave a moving and informative speech, describing the extent of injuries incurred by the torture of lashing and then kindly gave Indymedia an interview denouncing Saudi Arabia's human rights record and the UK government for considering the brutal regime an ally.

Also, check out the growth of STDs inside of Saudi Arabia, its reached according to one expert on Saudi Public Health "Epidemic proportions" but when a government is so unstable as this, what do they do?
Whip lesbians and gays, murders its opposition, force its country people to live in squalor and poverty and buy Islamic centres in Manchester, England.
Maybe its democracy, Maybe its Mabeline!
