IRAN MUST STOP IMMINENT EXECUTION OF JUVENILE OFFENDER

the Iranian authorities must halt the planned execution of a juvenile offender, Amnesty International urged. Mohammad Reza Haddadi, now aged 21, is due for execution in Shiraz. He was sentenced to death for a crime that took place when he was 15, and which he denies committing. A prisoner telephoned Mohammad Reza Haddadi’s father to tell him that his son would be executed.
