IRAN: JUVENILE OFFENDER FATEMEH SALBEHI HANGED
October 13, 2015: Iranian authorities have executed the juvenile offender Fatemeh Salbehi, according to Iran Human Rights' sources.
Fatemeh was convicted of murdering her husband in 2008, when she was 17 years old.
She was 23 year old when she was hanged in the Adelabad prison of Shiraz (Southern Ian) early this morning (October 13).
Fatemeh Salbehi married Hamed Sadeghi (30) at the age of 16. One year later the body of Hamed was found in their home and Fatemeh who was a school girl at that time was charged with his murder. She didn't have access to lawyer at the time of interrogations.
Despite ratifying the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Iranian authorities have executed at least 16 juvenile offenders since 2014. (Sources: Iran Human Rights, 13/10/2015)
