NCRI – Despite widespread international calls by humanitarian organizations for stay of execution sentence of a teenager, Behnam Zarei, Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi the mullahs judiciary chief ordered the youngster’s family to try to get the victim’s survivors consent otherwise the execution should be carried out as planned.
According to mullahs’ regime penal code the only remedy to avoid facing capital punishment for murder is to pay blood money to the victims’ survivors. However if the victim’s family does not agree, the execution should go on as scheduled.
What it really means is that Shahroudi has done nothing but to repeat his previous decree according to Mohammad Mostafai, Zarei’s attorney.
Presently, there are juveniles waiting for their execution in most major Iranian prisons run by the mullahs’ judiciary.
Currently there are 75 minors on death row in Iran according to international organizations.
