In the wake of the first reported
execution of a child offender in 2006, Amnesty International
expressed its dismay that Iran should be the only country
that currently executes child offenders - those under
the age of 18 at the time of their offence.
Amnesty International
said that the world is in complete agreement that the
execution of a person for a crime committed when they
were under 18 years of age is unacceptable. During
the last decade, the judicial killing of children has
all but stopped. Only a handful of countries now threaten
to carry out such executions and in 2005 Iran was the
only country to do so after it lost its main ally on
this issue: the United States of America.
