To: Editor of Kayham Newspaper
As a news media you have the responsibility of publishing the news and the truth regardless of being “interesting” or not! 135 Iranian juveniles are awaiting executions. No country in the world has such statistics! Iran is the only country who has executed 8 juveniles in 2008. Yes “it is not interesting” but is shameful for the country and nation of Iran that Kayhan (newspaper) only acts as the loudspeaker of the government and you find the truth ”not interesting” !You can email your views on the subject to info@kayhan.ir . Please copy SCE on your emails (info@stopchildexecutions.com)
