Iran: threats and deads

International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran has published a list with 114 names of childoffenders awaiting execution in Iran.
The list is the result of c research by Iranian human rights defender Emad Baghi. It forms part of his thus-far unpublished book “Right to Life II,” which demonstrates that such executions are not sanctioned by Islamic law as argued by Iranian authorities.
The Iranian censors have not permitted the book to be published.


The judicial spokesman in Iran has rejected reports of the execution of a 17 year-old juvenile. He says the boy was 18-year-old.
He said that “legislation pertaining to juveniles between 15 and 18 years old has to do with talion (punishment identical to the offense), which is totally different from the issue of execution.These two concepts must not be confused with each other.”
He added that the judiciary has a a tolerant approach towards under-18-year-olds who are sentenced to talion, according to the teachings of the Quran.
He was was referring to the judiciary's efforts to win the consent of the victim's family for the deathpenalty to be lowered to a prison sentence, particularly those involving minors.
The spokesman also said that a bill is getting prepared which could lead to certain measures that would clarify the position of juveniles who are sentenced to talion.
He did not say if and when this bill will be ratified.

The students belong to a nation-wide student movement known as the “Freedom and Equality Seeking Group.”
In December and January security forces detained 51 students belonging to the group. They are also known for their leftist and Marxists beliefs.
They were released only after posting extraordinary sums of bail, as much as $330,000.
During the past few weeks,they are repeatedly called and threatened that they soon will be put on trial on charges of apostasy and sentenced to hanging.
The students are living in the fear that their trials will be held soon, during the summer recess, to prevent any protests within universities.
