IRAN: YOUNG MAN EXECUTED IN PUBLIC
December 14, 2015: Iran hanged a 20-year-old man in public in the city of Noshahr, northern Iran.
The man, only identified by the initials M. Kh., was hanged at dawn, according to the regime’s prosecutor’s office in Noshahr.
The young man was only 18 at the time when he alleged committed his crime.
The Iranian regime has “cemented its shameful status as the world’s top official executioner of juvenile offenders after two young men were re-sentenced to death for crimes committed when they were under 18 years old”, Amnesty International said on December 8. (Sources: NCRI, 14/12/2015)
