<\/p>\n
The death sentence of Javid<\/strong> (20) [last name unknown] has been approved by the Iranian Supreme Court and sent to the “Ejraye Ahkam” (Enforcement of the judgment) section, according to the state-run news agency<\/font> ISCAnews<\/font><\/a>. Javid is convicted of a murder, in April of 2005. The report published by ISCAnews is not clear about Javid’s exact age at the time of the conviction of the crime, since the report calls him “the 20 years old offender”. However since the alleged crime was dated back to nearly 3 years ago (2 years and 10 months), there is a high possibility that Javid was under 18 years of age at the time of the alleged offence.<\/font><\/div>\n

\nInternational law strictly prohibits the use of the death penalty against people convicted of crimes committed when they were under 18. As a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the CRC, Iran has undertaken not to execute child offenders. since 1990, the ruling Islamic regime in Iran has executed at least 30 juveniles<\/font><\/a>, including more than 6 in 2007.<\/font>  87 youth<\/font><\/a> are now recorded by SCE to be on death row in Iran for alleged crimes before the age of 18. This number may be even higher as according to the reports, at least a further<\/font> 15 Afghan juvenile offenders<\/font><\/a> may be under sentence of death. According to the statistics provided by an Iranian police official about<\/font> 170 children (under 18 at time of alleged crime) <\/font><\/a>can be facing execution in Iran. There has been a surge in processing the children’s file for execution. In the past 3 months, SCE has reported 13 imminent executions<\/font> for<\/font> Ali Mahin-Torabi<\/font><\/b><\/a>,<\/b><\/font> Mohammad Latif<\/font><\/b><\/a>,<\/b><\/font> Delara Darabi<\/font><\/b><\/a>, <\/font><\/b>Hossein Haghi<\/font><\/b><\/a>, <\/font>Behnood<\/font><\/b><\/a>,  Ali<\/b><\/a>, <\/font>Saeed Jazee, <\/strong><\/a>Amir Amorollahi<\/strong><\/a>,<\/em> Rahim Ahmadi, <\/strong><\/span>Mohammad Haddadi<\/span><\/b><\/a> , Mehyar Haghgoo<\/strong><\/a> and Javid.  Earlier this month 42 European countries condemned<\/a> Iran for the surge in child executions. Iran has broken the world records in 2007 with at least 297 recorded executions comparing to 177 in 2006.

\nAs of February 2008 Stop Child Executions Campaign has recorded 92 children<\/a> facing executions worldwide: 87 in Iran, 2 in Saudi Arabia, 2 in Sudan and 1 in Yemen.
