Iran: words

Once again a Reutersagency said an earthquake of 6.3 magnitude on Richter scale occurred while the real magnitude was 3.6 on the Richterscale.
The earthquake happened at Hendorabi Island, Hormuzgan.

Along with concerns about the treatment of the Baha’i community in Iran, the British Minister of Foreign Affairs urged Iran in a meeting with the Iranian ambassador, to review a draft penal code which would make the crimes of apostasy, heresy and witchcraft punishable by death.
He said in a statement that Great Britain is opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances, but in those countries where it is retained it should be imposed only for the most serious crimes and in strict accordance with international minimum standards. It should not be applied to juvenile offenders or for non-violent crimes such as adultery, consensual same-sex relations or religious belief. The UK asked Iran to review the apostasy provisions of the draft penal code, and ensure that the new law respects and is fully consistent with Iran’s commitments under the international human rights conventions it has ratified.

In Iran there are childoffenders, still on death row.

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