Across the world, LGBTQI+ individuals are persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, and silenced — often with the approval or active involvement of the state. This groundbreaking book confronts the brutal reality of sexual orientation- and gender-based torture, exposing its deep roots in history, religion, law, and culture.
Drawing on decades of frontline experience at the Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture, Ezat Mossallanejad and Arghavan Shamsara combine rigorous research with firsthand accounts to explore how homophobia and transphobia have been weaponized, from ancient religious texts to modern legal systems.
Through historical analysis, legal critique, and survivor case studies, Sexual Orientation and Torture calls attention to the global conspiracy of silence surrounding these crimes. It also charts a path forward — one rooted in international law, holistic support for survivors, and the ongoing global struggle for LGBTQI+ emancipation.
