Iran: judiciary wonder

Human Right Watch called upon the Iran judiciary to halt the imminent execution of 10 Iranians of Arab origin, Ahwazi.
On November 9, Abbas Jaafari Dowlatabadi, head of the Judiciary in the southern province of Khuzestan, told ISNA that Iran's Supreme Court has confirmed the execution sentence of 10 Iranian Arabs.
The condemned men were sentenced in relation to the carried out bombings in Ahwaz, Khuzestan, last year.
During the past year, the Judiciary has sentenced at least 13 Iranians of Arab origin to death for armed activity against the state.

Sarah Leah Whitson, director of the Middle East and North Africa division at Human Rights Watch says that the opaque judicial system denies people due process and then hands down a death sentence after a one-day trial.
One of the convicted men, Nazem Bureihi, has been imprisoned since 2000 and was serving a 35-year sentence at the time of his alleged crime.
"One of the wonders of the Iranian Judiciary is that it can accuse a person of carrying out bombings while he's in prison," said Whitson.


In Iran deathpenalty is in use. Also for child offenders.

Children are being hanged to death.
A child will be hanged to death.
