The minor offender Mohammadreza Haddadi could be executed in the coming days
Iran Human Rights, July 7: The minor offender Mohammadreza Haddadi, who was scheduled to be executed today, could be executed in the coming days.
Mohammad Mostafaei, Mohammadreza’s lawyer, said in an interview with Roozonline yesterday, that he has been assured that his client will not be executed today, but since the authorities have asked Mohammadreza’s parents to meet him for the last time, he could be executed one of the coming days.
Earlier this week Mohammadrezas father said in an interview that he has received a letter from the authorities saying that they could visit Mohammadreza within Tuesday July 6.
The news of the scheduled execution of Mohammadreza has received international attention.
The Norwegian Vice Foreig minister Espen Barth Eide summoned the Iranian Ambassador, Seyed Hossein Rezvani, to the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and expressed the Norwegian condemnation of the scheduled execution of Mohammadreza Haddadi and the stoning sentence of Sakineh Ashtiani.
The EU, Canadian and the French government have also expressed their condemnation and proetsts against the planned executions.
Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the spokesperson of Iran Human Rights praised the international reactions and said: Mohammadreza Haddadi can be executed already tomorrow or on one of the coming days. He added: It is important that these reactions continue and we hope that the UN will also be involved at a higher level, since execution of minor offenders is a clear violation of the UN’s convention on the Child’s Rights that Iran has ratified and which is legally binding.
