UN concerned about child executions Iran

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of the United Nations has condemned Monday Iran because of the execution of two minors last week.

Ban Ki-moon pointed out that Iran has signed agreements stating that the death penalty can not be imposed on persons below eighteen years. According to the UN, most punishments were imposed for drug-related offenses.

The UN calls on Iran to suspend capital punishment by directly and to buy it eventually completely. Human Rights Watch has seen no improvement since 2013 in the human rights situation in Iran.
