Iran: Three young men face gallows

NCRI – Three young men identified as Behrooz (Behnod) Shojaii, Mohammad Fadaii and Saiid Jazi are facing gallows soon. All three were under 18 at the time of the alleged crimes. The mullahs' judiciary has already announced the scheduled time for their hangings to be: June 3, 11 and 25 respectively.

There are at least 75 juveniles on death row in Iran, according to international human rights organizations.

The Iranian Resistance calls on the UN Secretary General, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and all international human rights and children rights organizations to condemn the increasing number of executions, in particular those of the teenagers, by the Iranian regime. It also calls for the referral of the regime's human rights dossier to the UN Security Council for adoption of binding measures against it.

Despite two statements issued by the EU in May protesting to the planned hangings of two juveniles; Behrooz (Behnod) Shojaii and Saiid Jazi, the mullahs' regime, in a grimace to EU's call, is intending to hang them.
