Do Iran sentenced youngsters and teenagers to death " RTP"


 Iran has sentenced youngsters and teenagers to death.


Iran is killing people before they reach adulthood. There are several young offenders on death row in Iran, and the authorities continue to condemn them to death.


Girls as young as nine years old can be sentenced to death, while boys must be fifteen. From 2005 to 2015, at least 73 teenage offenders were executed. And the authorities show no signs of ending this heinous behavior.


We have information on 49 Iranian death row inmates who were under the age of 18 at the time of the alleged crime.


According to the UN, at least 160 people are awaiting execution in the country. In truth, there are likely to be many more teenage offenders on Iranian death rows, as the application of capital punishment in Iran is frequently cloaked in secrecy.

Growing raised on execution row—before they are hanged

Breaking International Law


Executing someone under the age of 18 when they purportedly committed the crime is forbidden under international regulations governing the use of the death sentence. Despite this, and despite Iran having signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child decades ago, our research reveals that Iranian authorities executed at least 73 juvenile criminals between 2005 and 2015.


Claims of reform are not reality.


Iranian authorities claim to have changed their justice system after receiving repeated criticism for executing minor offenders in the past.


Updates to the country's Islamic Penal Code (2013) allow judges to consider the young offender's mental competence and maturity when trying them for a crime that calls for the death penalty for adults. In 2014, the Iranian Supreme Court

However, little has changed in practice.


Death penalty in Iran


Iran is the world's second-most prolific executioner, and last year's executions climbed.


Between January 1 and November 1, 2015, Iranian authorities executed at least 830 people, including at least four young criminals.


The vast majority of executions in Iran are for drug-related offenses, which are obviously prohibited by international law because they are not 'the most serious crimes'.
