Iran executed Mohammad Mousavi (#13 on the SCE petition)

Nazanin Afshin-Jam and Stop Child Executions campaign sadly announce and condemn the execution of Mohammad Mousavi in Iran. Mohammad was executed on April 22, 2007 in city of Shiraz without notifying his family!

Mohammad was #13 on the SCE petition. He was also listed on the execution row page of the stopchildexecution.com site but sadly today we had to move his name to the executed minors list .

This is the only information that we had about Mohammad:

Mohammad Mousavi
He is now 19 years old and was sentenced to death for a murder allegedly committed when he was 16. The sentence has been upheld by the Supreme Court and it is feared that he is at risk of execution.

This is while Ayatollah Shahroudi, head of the Iranian judiciary claims that they had ordered all the judiciaries not to execute children without his review. 

We will soon report more detail about Mohammad and his execution.

SCE campaign reiterates the fact that there are more than 30 minors facing execution in Iran, and the fate of everyone of then is important, and fighting the execution of all the victims and removing such law is the number one priority of the Stop Child Execution petition and campaign. There are so many on the list that we still have no information about and there might be many on the execution row that we may not even be aware of. We no longer can afford to fight one child at a time at the chance of losing another onee. Let’s not forget that while we were fighting to save the life of Nazanin Fatehi, Iran executed many other minors including: Majid Segound , Ali Sarafpour Rajabi, Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni.  (see the executed page of our website)

Please sign the petition to Stop Child Executions in Iran and also write to Ayatollah Shahrudi condemning the execution of Mohammad Mousavi and damand immediatre stop of Execution of Children once and for all.
