Safar Angoti who committed a crime when he was 17
years old will be executed in public tomorrow by Islamic Republic of
Iran.
Safar
is the fourth juvenile offenders who will be executed this year
despite the fact that Islamic Republic of Iran is a signatory to the
United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which
stipulates that members cannot execute convicts found guilty of
committing crimes as minors. The imposition of the death penalty for
juvenile offenders represents the ultimate rejection of the
International law.
We
urgently request the international community to swiftly act and
pressure the Islamic Republic of Iran Supreme Court to abolish the
practice of executing juvenile offenders.
