Wiki:The liner notes show that the album Fundamental is dedicated to two executed Iranian gay teenagers, Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni, who were hanged on 19 July 2005. Some reports have suggested the two may have been executed for engaging in homosexual behaviour, though the official Iranian report was that they were hanged for raping a 13-year-old boy. The boys (and probably the 13 year old too) claim it was consensual sex.

I wonder if the song Numb was inspired by this horrific event.
