Amnesty International (UK) increased its previous estimate of 21 Iranian youth on execution row up to 35. Stop Child Executions Campaign within less than one month of its inception has located 32 minors with execution verdicts.
The Iranian authorities have denied their execution of child offenders. On 20 January 2005 they reported to the Committee on the Rights of the Child that such executions had been suspended. On the very same day, Iman Farrokhi was hanged in Tehran for a crime he committed when he was 17.
There are currently 29 names listed on THE ROW page of SCE campasite and 3 more being added:
Abbass was sentenced to death for murdering a man in what he claims was self-defence. Rasoul was sentenced with his father for a number of crimes they committed together. Both Abbass and Rasoul have received stays of execution, however Rasoul’s father was still publicly executed. In neither case have the Iranian authorities ruled out setting a new date for execution.
