IRAN. EXECUTION OF A TEENAGE GIRL, BBC DOCUMENTARY

it was reported that a television documentary team had pieced together details surrounding the case of a 16-year-old girl, executed two years previously in Iran.
On 15 August, 2004, Atefah Sahaaleh was hanged in a public square in the Iranian city of Neka. Her death sentence was imposed for "crimes against chastity".
The state-run newspaper accused her of adultery and described her as 22 years old. But she was not married - and she was just 16.
At the time of Atefah's execution in Neka, journalist Asieh Amini heard rumours the girl was just 16 years old and so began to ask questions.
"When I met with the family," says Asieh, "they showed me a copy of her birth certificate, and a copy of her death certificate. Both of them show she was born in 1988. This gave me legitimate grounds to investigate the case."
