Prince Hashim bin Hussein of Jordan
 
 
(Sat Aug 20, 2016) Amman, Jordan (AFP) — Prince Hashim bin Hussein of Jordan, the younger of the two sons of the late King Hussein,
has allegedly sough urgent political asylum for fear of torture and summary execution and apparently the Norwegian embassy was the
sole diplomatic legation in Amman to grant him with temporary visa.

"I live with this sword of Damocles hanging over my head every day; I implore the international community to stop the crucifixion of gay
couples in Jordan , though Wine and other forbidden Islamic sins are freely practiced in my country,   and even so-called restricted
Muslims — my dictator brother king 'His Highness Abdullah II'!!!  is imbibing considerable quantities of superb French champagne—,
nevertheless, Gay/Lesbian sex is deemed illegal and unforgivable immorality in Jordan  and I am just only one victim of this cruel and
intimidating regime of constant fear and terror. My king brother is a despicable hypocrite and he himself threatened me that if I do not
desist from my homosexual proclivities, he will execute me ," AFP cited the refugee Prince Hashim as saying on Saturday from Amman.

"If a person complaints, added Prince Hashim, that two men or two women are engaged in a love affair, the Government shall take
draconian penalties against the hapless citizens. The only exception for this case is when your brother is half-seated on his shaky throne
immersed in the innocents' blood. They coerced me into marring a very noble lady, though there was not any love affair existing between
two of us. My callous brother in his empty fantasies though he could deprive me from my inalienable human rights but I want to show to
the entire world the hideous crimes committed against The LGBT community in my beloved Jordan," added Prince Hashim.

In a different country, this coming out story might not be considered out of the ordinary. But, Prince Hashim bin Hussein a pensive,
handsome young man with meticulously groomed stubble, lives in Jordan,— regardless the fact that his house is one the most sumptuous
palaces in the Middle-East— ,where law criminalizes same-sex relations; decapitation or throwing the culprit off the top of a high
building is the penalty one must pay.

Until recently, consensual sexual intercourse between men was not a capital offense in Amman. After a change in the country's penal
code, the "active" person in the act can now be punished with up to 100 lashes, but if he's married, the death penalty may apply at once.
The "passive" person can still be sentenced to death, regardless of marital status. Sexual interaction between two women is punishable by
flogging.

Amman-Jordan
 

"Despite this barbaric statutory prohibition, homosexuality is an open secret in Jordan. My friends tell me that since 2011 and with the
advent of Arab Spring, there has been a sharp rise in the number of homosexual couples in the capital Amman and other major cities,
despite the fact that there is a half-hearted tolerable official policy towards LGBT people but to my chagrin, as a Royal Family, I have a
pity situation. More and more, I see gay and lesbian couples being openly affectionate on the streets in Amman, my heart fills with joy.
Transgender individuals live and work openly across Jordan, and I recently heard that the government will even pay for sex
reassignment surgery (SRS) for those who want it" Al-diyar quoted the despondent refugee prince

I read how according to Islam homossexuality if not an offence or crime, dating back from the 7th century there have been numerous high
profiled judges and Imams who have been openly gay..
Scholars state how it is not an offence from century to century before a country decides to implement their own laws via sharia to punish
those that they personally target.

This is very sad. I certainly hope that this message along with what the Prince has written will make a major change in thinking in his
country and throughout the Middle East.

Prince Hussein is vulnerable due to his elevated status in the Jordanian hierarchy
Consummate caution is critical in all geo political affairs but especially regarding concerns about LGBT safety.
There is NO good reason for rhe USA to not offer immediate asylum to Prince Hussein and a significant other.
I will be advocating for precisely this intervention.
President Obama and Hillary Clinton are noble champions ofhuman rights. They need simply to be aware of the gravity andand immediacy
of this life or death concern.
I am capable of initiating an effort. I could use some help.
I am on Facebook at Vincent Huffman (Arizona USA).

This guy appears to have guts. And also appears to be super HOT! Isn't Jordan where the kng used to be an eye doctor in the USA with an
Amer wife who reluctantly took the throne when his father died unexpectedly? How'd he turn into such an asshole after just a few years?

Immigrate to Canada. Justin Trudeau and his government have opened doors to young educated immigrants especially those persecuted for
their sexuality.

Good for him.
My neighbor's husband is from Jordan and I have a great gay friend from Jordan. I am gay and no one cares. My partner of 20 years (sadly,
an ex and on great terms) have twins who are 21. First via surrogacy!
I am so proud of this man!

I'm filled with great sorrow that the prince has such a plight. I pray that he finds peace in knowing that we support him in his campaign for
human rights in Jordan.
