Iran Human Rights, October 13, 2015: Iranian authorities have executed the juvenile offender Fatemeh Salbehi, according to Iran Human Rights' sources.
Fatemeh was convicted
of murdering her husband in 1988, when she was 17 years old. She was 23 year
old when she was hanged in the Adelabad prison of Shiraz (Southern Ian) early
this morning. Fatemeh Salbehi married Hamed Sadeghi (30) at the age of 16. One
year later the body of Hamed was found in their home and Fatemeh who was a
school girl at that time was charged with his murder. She didn't have access to
lawyer at the time of interrogations.
Despite
ratifying the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Iranian authorities
have executed at least 16 juvenile offenders since 2014. A recent report from
IHR shows that the number of the executions in 2015 [is] the highest in more
than 25 years.
