Summary: P.m. Asked To Protest To Iran (Press, 31 March 1979)
In March 1979, the National Gay Rights Coalition urged New Zealand's Prime Minister, Mr Muldoon, to take a stand against the persecution of homosexuals in Iran, highlighting it as a significant international crisis for the LGBTQ+ community. The coalition's national co-ordinator, Mr R. Duff, pointed out that since the rise of Ayatollah Khomeiny's regime, 26 homosexuals had been executed, signalling an alarming trend of violence against this community. The coalition also reached out to leaders of the Labour, Social Credit, and Values parties, seeking their support for the rights of homosexuals in Iran.
