In an interview with BBC Radio (Persian), Iranian human rights lawyer Mr. Abdolfath Soltani gave a warning about imminent execution of yet another child in Iran who was sentenced to death for an alleged crime (possiblly due to self defense) when he was 16 years old. His name is Mohammad Ahmadi who is now 19 years old.

This brings the total number of children facing execution in Iran to 69.  On June 17, 2007 Stop Child Executions Campaign for the first time published a comprehensive list of 68 children : http://scenews.blog.com/1857468/ 

Stop Child Executions Campaign strongly condemns Iran’s violation of International laws. Iran remains to be the only country in the world with such an extensive list of children facing execution. Nazanin Afshin-Jam and Stop Child Executions are extremely concerned about the status of these children as two were already executed in Iran this year.
