Amnesty International Australia Under Iranian criminal law, girls as young as nine and boys as young as 15 may be tried as adults and sentenced to death.Currently there are over 49 people on death row for crimes they committed when they were under 18.Last year authorities executed four child offenders, reaching a total of 73 cases over the past decade!Join our call on the Iranian Head of the Judiciary to abolish the use of the death penalty against all child offenders immediately.
