Mohammad Hassanzadeh was the first youth executed by the regime since they hung a young girl in 2004.
Iranian Rooz News reported:
On Tuesday June 10, 2008, Mohammad Hassanzadeh (Mohammad Hassan-Zadeh), a 17-year old adolescent who had been sentenced to death was hanged in a Sanandaj prison in Southwest Iran.
According to a source in Sanandaj familiar with the case, Mohammad Hassanzadeh was sentenced to death when he was 15 years old. He was one of two adolescents on the death row in the Sanandaj prison who was hanged on Tuesday, as the other prisoner awaits the execution of his sentence. This source also mentioned that there were three other adolescents waiting for their death sentence whose cases are very similar to these two.
After a 16-year old girl named Atefe Sahaleh was executed in 2004 in the northern town of Neka, Mohammad (born in 1991) is the first person who was given the death sentence while he was still under 18 and whose execution too was while he had not passed that age group. There have been other under-18 year-old youth sentenced to death in Iran, but their death sentences were not executed until they had reached that age because of international pressure over Iran’s violations of human rights and the rights of children. International conventions and agreements, to which Iran is also a signatory, call for countries not to sentence anyone to the death penalty under the age of 18 years.

BG - on Dodd
ReplyDeletei believe Dodd was also one of the Dems who made that special trip (funded by a Muslim Charity with ties to militant Islamists)
No he didn't. Dodd is just peace corp. The peace corp is the Democrats own private intelligence gathering apparatus funded by unknowing taxpayers . Theys they go in peace and report and debrief only to Democrats.
Works real neat.
When Bush said he'd double the size of the peace corp, the Democrats and their spies shit a brick. Ot could be union and agency problems. It could just be he said it.
The peace corp was set up as sahadow CIA by Kennedy. Kennedy says he wanted "these kinds" put in foreign service duty after their tour.
ReplyDeleteThey just kept working for the democrats and only the Democrats there seemingly independent status - agency status.
Unionize the democrat spies? I don't know, but 911 just stirred their nest, they we're paid and took a lot of foreign money contracts and had no interest in protection. Now they say they are the heros and no one listened.
why no mention of the crime?
