Adravan (27) is comforted by his partner after falling victim to a violent, homophobic attack on his way home in Istanbul, Turkey. Adravan sought asylum in Turkey after facing death threats and persecution in his home country of Iran, where LGBTQIA+ people, and all sexual relations outside of traditional marriage, are criminalized. Under the Penal Code in Iran, sexual activity between members of the same sex can be punishable by death.
