The death penalty for children and adolescents is lawful!
Are they thinking about the right to life ?
The right to life and security of life are recognized as an inherent right.
Is this right inherent in the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran?
Is it foreseen, as a right to citizenship, for Islamic law and for the right to live and secure the lives of children of children?
Regrettably, the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran does not recognize the right of citizenship to children, which has the legal basis and legal protection of children.
But it has been fully recognized in the penal code and, unfortunately , according to Article 91 of the Penal Code, the penal code for children is 15 years for boys and 9 years for girls .
The execution of teenagers in Iran to commemorate the execution of 16-year-old Atefeh in Neka and … According to the UN Special Rapporteur’s report in 2008, 61 child offenders were executed in Iran, and in 2018 at least 6 juvenile offenders were executed when they committed a crime 14 Have had a year. Human Rights Watch said on February 7, 2018, that three children under the age of 18 had been executed in January this year . Amir Hossein Pour Jafar was executed on charges of murder and aggression at the age of 16, Ali Kazemi for murdering at age 15, and Mahboubeh Mofidi for the murder of his wife at the age of 17 in a month.
It is true that execution, propagation of violence and massacre in society, not only does not deteriorate, but also promotes murder; it can never be resolved to eliminate a problem, it can not be committed to murder to reduce its murder. In addition, the execution in public, destroys the sanctity of the lives of humans, and makes the death and death of a man public in nature.
Article 37 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the prohibition of torture , ensures that punishment is punishable by law from the government, that no child is subjected to torture and that he has not been subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment and that the Islamic Republic has signed this Convention. Amnesty International has called on the authorities of the Islamic Republic to release the execution of the three young men who stopped at the age of 18 at the time of the crime . ( Mohammad Kalhor in Borujerd Prison of Lorestan Province, Barzan Nasrallah Zadeh in Rajai Shahr prison, Alborz province and Shayan Saeedpour in Sanandaj, Kurdistan province) are at risk of imminent executions.
According to Amnesty International and the Human Rights Organization of Iran since the adoption of Article 91 of the Islamic Penal Code in Iran until 1996, at least 25 people were executed for crimes committed at the time of their childhood.
On the other hand, juvenile offenders, whether innocent or guilty, face severe and acute realities in Iranian judicial prisons, as they are treated in the same way as adult inmates.
Another is that children or teenagers arrested by IRI security forces face inhumane conditions, including torture as a means of confessing, until they are released or executed. According to reports, juvenile prisoners are forced to eat the pill, and they are prevented from doing so by batons, whipping and solitary confinement, as well as torture. Meanwhile, Sadegh Larijani, the head of the Iranian judiciary, said in November 93 that the execution of children under the age of 18 is a mere lie!
