Iranian authorities hung juvenile offender Behnam Zare today, who was convicted of killing an associate at age 15. A week earlier, on 19 August, Reza Hejazi, also 15 at the time of his crime, was executed. Iran leads the world in executing juvenile offenders, persons convicted of a crime committed before the age of 18. No other country has executed juvenile offenders in 2008. As a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Iran is obligated to abolish such executions. http://www.ihrv.org/inf/?p=759
