As
Iran currently executes the highest number of juvenile offenders in the world,
hundreds of Iranian minors helplessly watch their childhoods pass them by, as
they await their fatal ends behind bars.
At least 160 youths under the age of 18 currently await execution in Iran.
Shockingly, rights groups have reported that Iran has executed at least 230 people since the beginning of 2016.
While the majority of countries worldwide are fighting for the eradication of capital punishment against adults, Iran continues to sentence girls as young as 9 and boys aged 15 to death.
According to a recent report issued by Amnesty International, at least 160 young Iranians currently await execution.
