Under Iranian law, capital offenses include adultery by married people, incest, rape, four convictions of an unmarried person for fornication, three convictions for drinking alcohol, or four convictions for homosexual acts among men.

Fornication and drinking alcohol seem like the most likely offenses that would be commited by minors...

And I think six offenses for fornication with a camel.

oooooh, watch out Iran, A.I. is mad at you. If you don't straighten up and fly right, why, they'll...they'll...they'll just write a letter and tell you again how mad they are.

The most prominent capital case is that of Atefeh Rajabi , who was hanged on Aug. 15, 2004, in the town of Neka, in northern Mazandaran province. She was 16 and had been sentenced to death for a fourth conviction of crimes against chastity. Her crimes included being alone in a car with a boy and being caught at a cafe without a chaperon.

Wow, good thing too. Can't have girls like that running about Tehran. Caught at a cafe without a chaperon! Shocking!!!!

I wonder if SCOTUS justices Ginsberg & Kennedy will use this foreign law / practice as justification for executing minors in the USA.

In a troubling report on the execution of minors in Iran, Amnesty International said yesterday that at least 71 child offenders are on death row and more than 24 have been executed since 1990, more than in any other country.

Yeah, whatever. I don't take AI seriously anymore. Especially since their ruling on abortion etc.

How about Amnesty International investigating the execution of adults because they are not muslims (especially those who are guilty of the “crime” of leaving Islam for another faith)?

[weegee]

Also doesn’t Amnesty International consider abortion a universal right?

Seems that it is okay to kill small children in their eyes.
