    After this entrapment and public flogging, Amir’s life became unbearable. He was rousted regularly at his home by the basiji (a para-police made up of thugs testking 1Y0-A09 recruited from the criminal classes and the lumpen unemployed) and by agents of the Office for Promotion of Virtue and Prohibition of Vice, which represses “moral deviance”—things like boys and girls walking around holding hands, women not wearing proper Islamic dress and prostitution. Says Amir, “In one of these testking 1Y0-A15 arrests, Colonel Javanmardi told me that if they catch me again that I would be put to death, ‘just like the boys in Mashad.’ He said it just like that, very simply, very explicitly. He didn’t mince words. We all know that the boys who were hanged in testking SK0-003 Mashad were gay—the rape charges against them were trumped up, just like the charges of theft and kidnapping against them. When you get arrested, you are forced by beatings testking 642-504, torture and threats to confess to crimes you didn’t commit. It happens all the time, and has to friends of mine.”
