Ana Pastor interviewed Ahmadinejad government for the Spanish broadcaster TVE at the presidential palace in Tehran. Among other things, she asked the President what he thought about the fact that the democratically elected European Parliament has criticized the executions of homosexuals and stoning of wives. Then the Iranian president was indignant: "Who has allowed the Europeans to interfere in internal affairs," he went to Pastor.
It is not the first time that Ahmadinejad expressed personally derogatory about gays and lesbians. After the fake victory of the parliamentary elections in May 2009, he said at a victory celebration recorded that in Iran "a real democracy," while "woo homosexuals and other sediment to get a few percent more votes" politicians abroad.
In Iran, gays are executed again and again. Often they are not older than 18 or 19 years. They are often referred to as a child molester, to keep the international protests small. There is often no evidence to hold the international standards would stand - often draw the alleged victims back their testimony in court.
But in another point proved Ana Pastor courage: She is the first journalist who interviewed the Iranian President without the mandatory head scarf - and did not even know it. "It was not intentional," wrote Pastor in her blog. She had not noticed that the cloth was slipped from her head because she was able to focus entirely on the interview.
