Javid, a possible "minor" offender, is at imminent risk of execution

Iran Human Rights, January 15: The death sentence of Javid (20) has been approved by the Iranian Supreme Courte and sent to the "Ejraye Ahkam" (Enforcement of the judgement) section, according to the state-run news agency ISCAnews. This means that Javid could be soon facing execution. He is convicted of a murder, in March 2005. The report published by ISCAnews is however not completely clear about his age at the time of the conviction of the crime, since the report calls him "the 20 years old offender". However since the crime has been allegedly committed more than two years ago, it is likely that he was under 18 years of age at that time.
