Shame on Iran for sentencing a juvenile offender to death!

Upon turning 18, Mohammad Kalhor was sentenced to death, despite a medical examiner’s report stating that he was not mentally mature when he allegedly committed murder at age 15.

“According to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and Convention on the Rights of the Child, it is illegal to execute someone for crimes committed under the age of eighteen. Iran is party to both treaties but remains one among a handful of countries still putting juveniles to death.”
