17 Year old Kurdish girl was stoned to death in Iraq.
Nazanin Afshin-Jam and Stop Child Executions Campaign have also been very appalled by this news. We are also very disturbed by the lack of international media attention to this act although the horrific video of this barbaric act has been posted on many internet sites.

EXECUTED-INDIA
Asif Iqubal - male, 13
Sahin Sk. - male 15
Asif Iqubal, aged 13, and Sahin Sk., aged 15, were allegedly taken into custody by the Indian Police and shot at close range on 1 April 2007.

The two boys Asif Iqbal (13 year-old) and Sahin SK (15 year-old) were allegedly in the process of smuggling two cows across the border between India and Bangladesh, when the Commandant of the Border Security Force (BSF) belonging to the 140 Battalion posted at Kaharpara border out post saw them and ordered to catch them. Consequently, three or four subalterns caught them and fired them from point blank range, despite the young age of the two boys and the fact that they were unarmed. Two eyewitnesses were reportedly present during the incident.
