Following the execution of Atefeh, a 16 year old girl in the northern city of Neka in Iran, who was accused of having had an extramarital sexual affair, the legal experts are now worried about the faith of three young people who are condemned to death by the Islamic courts. Under international pressure the Judiciary has now announced that they are waiting for three young boys to reach the age of 18 before they are executed. The authorities have not revealed what the boys are convicted of.
Under Islamic Law children are exempt from judicial punishment but the same legal system considers girls at the age of 10 and boys at 16 as adults and punishable.
Although in the past two years the IRI have not carried out some of the court verdicts which contravened the international law of Human Rights, but at the same time no amendments have been made to the Islamic legal system in these respects.
ISNA, the student’s news agency in Iran says they received letters which warns them the boys have just turned 18 and if the international public opinion remains silent they will have the same faith as Atefeh, the 16 year old girl from Neka.
"Jesus, give some of us a break..."
Would you mind not using God's name in vain? Thank you.
Are you kidding me - half of you really have issues - I'm catholic beezlepug - don't be so quick to take offense..
Teenagers are clearly children. What world do you inhabit?
He seems to forget that they had a revolution a few years back that installed the Mullahs and alienated them from America. Not to mention keeping hundreds of American citizens hostage for over a year. NOW HE EXPECTS OUR SOLDIERS TO GO AND DIE TO OUST THE MULLAHS THEIR PARENTS PUT IN POWER!!! IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER REVOLUTION, THEY DID IT ONCE, AND THEY CAN DO IT AGAIN!!! UNTIL THE MULLAHS THREATEN THE U.S. DIRECTLY, THEY'RE LIBERATION IS NOT WORTH A SCRATCH ON ONE AMERICAN SOLDIER.
Some of your critics conveniently forget that America's Revolution was successful largely because of the help of "outsiders" like the French.
Iran's people are in my prayers.
Anyone who believes Iraq was not a threat to us and needed to be dealt with is ignorant.
Some memories aren't so short. In 1979 the Iranian people couldn't hate the U.S. enough. Great Satan, Death to America, all that kind of hatred. That bizarre Ayatolloh died, the mullahs are no fun anymore, the situation's hell and now you just love us to pieces.
Did it ever occur to you that even we have limited resources and there's a bunch of us that can remember how well you can hold revolutions when you really to? Those are your children being executed, those are your people standing by, and those would be many of your people cursing American soldiers if any came into your country.
And it's ludicrous to think that e-mailing those publications will help. You've revolted before, you can do again.
I've been reading it, Dude, and Iranians expats are scattered all over the world. You wake up, you made your owns problems, and you have the ability to solve them. I have that much faith in the Iranian (Persian) people.
xJones - you don't know kid - you just DON'T
To say that Iranians made there own problems is absolute bullshit.. It's called the WEST who installed Khoemeini and Carter admin turned their backs on Shah because they wanted Islamic Fanatic Governments all around Communist Soviet Empire.. Khomenei was installed by the French and Britishs numnuts..
dude you're not reading - don't attempt to speak to me or anyone else like you know what the deal is, when you don't, because it's hilarious to those of us who do know history!
THANKs!
Your point, while stretched to fit this situation, nonetheless rings true...
"I'm catholic beezlepug..."
I suppose you are assuming I thought you were a Muslim? As a Catholic you should know better. As a Christian, I have every right to be offended. And I did ask politely, didn't I?
Yah - that's what I assumed - sorry for the assumption.. Occasionally myself and other Catholics and Christians I know say "Jesus" once in a while.. sorry if you took offense..
The Euro-peons are in bed with the enemy. Iranian Mullahs are the head of the Islamic Jihadist Hydra. We need to decapitate them.
PBUH, and this Protestant hopes an FR Catholic doesn't come along to question your orthodoxy.:) I'll give you credit, at least you hang around to take the incoming...
I have absolutely no idea why you are getting so much flack on this thread.
Here is a bump for you.
Obviously, you aren't connected enough. You know Kofi Annan and didn't get your cut of the Oil for Food scandal program ; )
People - good and bad - love to give freedom fighters flack.. 'uck 'em -
:)
I don't think the Persians ever hated the USA --- they got wrapped up in some revolution idea --- they were being used by the mullahs --- as misguided as they were they didn't hate us then or now. One thing I always found interesting --- those guys who would demonstate with brown bags over their heads were actually friendly and fairly open minded in discussing politics, religion and everything. Deep down they don't have the right mentality for being Muslims.
