Iran executes juvenile offender

"Reports from Iran say a boy aged 17 has been hanged, in violation of UN charters signed by Tehran and official pledges not to execute minors. Mohammad Hassanzadeh is the second juvenile offender to be hanged in Iran this year. There were seven in 2007. He was convicted of killing a 10-year-old boy two years ago. Rights groups say Iran used to get round commitments not to execute minors by keeping them on death row until they turn 18, but now do not appear to wait. Human rights activists say two other juvenile offenders due to be executed on Wednesday were given a one month reprieve.

Eight men were taken for execution at Evin prison near Tehran, however, bringing the total number of executions so far this year to 128 according to Amnesty International."

Now if you're going to sign a charter not to execute minors then don't fucking execute minors! If you want to be treated like a responsible bunch of grown-ups Iran then act like a responsible bunch of grown-ups.

Well, he killed a 10-year-old. If that's true, off that piece of shit. If not, I feel really bad that he's going to die for nothing.

Ethics and morals in relation to the death penalty aside, they signed a UN charter and subsequently violated it...and they want to be taken seriously in relation to nuclear development! Not a good advertisement for trustworthiness.

The guy killed a 10 years old, so he was a piece of shit.  Nevertheless, if you sign a UN charter you should respect it.

Kids are stupid. It's why most countries don't allow them the responsability to drive, get married, have sex, drink, join the army etc. The same should hold for crimes they commit. They aren't responsable adults yet, hence when they commit crimes they shouldn't be held to the same levels of punishment as adults. Iran executes people for crimes committed as kids which is appauling, to actually kill them while they're still kids in violation of treaties they've signed is stupid and appauling.

Because Iran stones women for fun? Considering you're comfortable with hanging what's the difference being bludgoned to death in a hail of rocks or swining from the nearset crane if you're a convicted murderer?  In your book it wouldn't matter.

No pity for child killers.

When you are 15 and more, you know what you are doing.. that kid deserved to die.. i wish justice was like that in my socialist country.

And since when the UN is relevant?  Who care about them.. Iran have the right to ignore the UN since israel do it all the time.

Burn in Hell you piece of shit.

Doesn't the US reserve the right to execute minors?

No, they gave it up 4 or so years ago. They now only hold kids in prison for life with no chance for parole, along with a handful of countries that you really wouldn't want to be in the same category as.

the kid was probably an infiedel, besides the UN is irrelevant.  What is the UN going to do, spend 4 months debating wether or not to write a letter condeming Iran for killing a murderer?

Personally I don't believe in the death penalty. But I would argue that a 16-17 year old is old enough to know what they are doing is wrong and should receive the same punishment as an adult.

Too many wee bastards running around viciously beating the crap out of people because they know the worst that will happen to them is a few months in a youth detention centre riding go-carts and doing drugs. Kids are growing up much earlier and if they wish to engage in the same acts as mindless adults then they should be treated as such.

Really?  I find it funny the number of Americans who criticise Islam as stuck in the Dark Ages, given the state of the US legal system.

Wrong.  I should have put the /sarcasm, my bad.  I'm against several of the inhumane way of execution Iran uses.  More importantly, I'm against many of the reasons Iran chooses to execute its citizens.  Also, there is a big difference in getting your neck snapped (instant/quick death) and being stoned (long and painful).

So, you're in support of humane execution?



That makes perfect sense.

wow, I am in favor of long painful deaths for criminals.  In the US it takes a lot to be sentenced to death and most people die on death row because the system is so slow.  A good stoning or two might make some of the murders think twice about it or at the very least allow the victim's family a couple hours of enjoyment to start the healing.

Yes, because vengeance as a societal trend should be encouraged.


Also, lack of forgiveness and fomenting of distrust.

Execution is only vengeance if it is carried out by a civilian.  The government gives a murderer a trial and he/she is judged by evidence and a jury of his/her peers.  That is justice, not vengeance.  There can be forgiveness, but that does not erase the consequences of their choice to murder.

Actually, that depends on your defenition of the term.  Both Australia and the US (and, AFAIK, most of the world) are heavily geared toward a vengeance system of laws, to varying degrees.

Having said that, I was actually responding to the post directly above.

Missed my point.
I think that a state if it chooses to execute its criminals it should do it in a manner which is quick and painless.  Burying someone in the ground up to thier neck and pelting them with small stones until they die and lethal injection may both get the job done, but they are way different.

Guys please don't forget that 'justice' is a loosely defined term in Muslim countries where 'confessions' are regularly beaten from people. He may have been a murderer but then again maybe the 10 year old boy's family paid the police to get a confession. It sure aint't anything close to a CSI epsiode over there. Almost all evidence is based on personal accounts which all always accurate and unbiases (unbought).

Lol at 'put to sleep'.

That's all murderers need, a good nights rest and they're all better the next day.
