Iran has hanged a young woman who was convicted of murder when she was a minor, her lawyer said Saturday, drawing condemnation from international human rights groups who have sought to end capital punishment for juvenile offenders.

Authorities executed the 23-year-old woman Friday in northern Iran without informing her lawyer or allowing the family to be present, said the lawyer, Mohammad Mostafaei. She was 17 at the time the crime was committed, in 2003.

Can’t speak for the poster, but I think he means that O’zer wants to establish a dialogue (friendship) with these barbarians, no?

Why the recent increase ?

My guess is they see rebelliousness as a problem that can be contagious, particularly among the youth. Rebels must, therefore, die. Makes more of an impact than sending them off to Outward Bound Reeducation Experience.

1. More juveniles at that age now.
2. To prevent their Iran-Iraq baby boom (now in late teens and 20s) from going liberal.

The ruling Mullahs and power brokers in Iran are barbarians. Evil to the core.

Oh, I know. O’zer can charm them with his amazing grasp of conversational persuation...(just make sure he’s got backup teleprompters).

I believe that those who are stoned are killed 100% of the time. They start with small stones and work their way up to larger stones and rocks. It’s torture before death.

Islam needs to be eradicated off the face of the earth and totally expunged from the fabric of humanity
