Another Iranian child is facing imminent execution starting today.  Behnam Zare is convicted of an alleged murder committed when he was 15 years old. He has been imprisoned in the Adelabad prison of the Iranian central city of Shiraz ever since and has recently turned 18.

10 days ago he was given an ultimatum by the Iranian judiciary to obtain pardon of the family of the deceased by today or face execution. However the family has not issued a pardon and Behnam’s deadline is now over and can be executed as early as tomorrow.

In a letter sent to Nazanin Afshin-Jam today, Behnam’s attorney, Mohammad Mostafaei asked for an urgent action by all the world authorities and individuals before it is too late.

Behnam is the 76th child on the execution row in Iran.
