a juvenile offender, Adil Muhammad Saif al-Ma'amari, has been executed in February 2007.
He had been arrested in July 2001, and was held at a police station where he confessed, allegedly under torture, to murdering a male relative in an argument.
Although medical examinations showed that he had not passed his 17th birthday, and Article 31 of Yemen's Penal Code prohibits the execution of child offenders, he was sentenced to death on 19 October 2002.
Adil Saif's appeals were rejected by the Court of Appeal on 23 May 2005, and then by the Supreme Court on 27 February 2006.
