Iran Human Rights, February 19: One day after the scheduled execution of the minor offender Rahim Ahmadi was halted in Iran, we have received reports about another minor offender scheduled to be executed in Iran soon.

Amir Khaleghi (18) is convicted of a murder allegedly committed when he was 16 years old. According to a letter from Mohammad Mostafaei, the defence lawyer of several minor offenders, Amir is scheduled to be executed in Tehran’s Evin prison on Sunday February22.

International pressure is often the only mean to stop execution of the minors.
