Please find below and attached an Urgent Action that Amnesty International has issued today on Iranian teenager Alireza Tajiki, who is at continued risk of execution. The authorities did not carry out his scheduled execution on 15 May after a global outcry. However, they have not committed to not rescheduling the execution. He had been sentenced to death for a crime he says he did not commit. He was 15 years old at the time of the crime.
