According to Etemaad newspaper of Iran, the first mediation session
with the family of the victim failed and they continued to insist on
the execution of Behnoud Shojaee.
Benhoud who was 17 years old at the time of the street quarrel which
lead to the death of another boy, was scheduled to be put to death on
Tuesday May 7th . However, due to international pressure, Iran's head
of judiciary postponed the death penalty for one month.
Mediation Judge Jaberi told the Etemaad daily : "The victim's family
insist on death penalty for Behnoud but we will continue to try to
obtain a reconciliation."
According to Islamic sharia laws in Iran, victims' families can either
demand the implementation of the death sentence or receive blood money
retribution instead.
By shifting the responsibility of the child executions to the families
of the victims ,when under international pressure, the Judiciary of
the Islamic Republic tries to relieve itself from responsibility of
ordering the death penalty of juveniles.
In direct violation of signed UN conventions, the regime of Iran currently holds more than 100 juveniles in the execution row. |
