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.

Abbass Hosseini and Rasoul Mohammadi:<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n
