Iran executes people in adolescence.

  I therefore urgently appeal to the Iranian judicial authorities not to execute the death penalty, but rather to allow Arman Abdolali the possibility of a fair trial under the rule of law without the reimposition of the death penalty.

Arman Abdolali was a minor at the time of the crime he allegedly committed. There is credible evidence that his confession was extracted under torture and that this sentence thus contravenes fundamental principles of the rule of law

I am very concerned by the news that the execution of the young Iranian Arman Abdolali could be imminent.
