18 Year-Old & Juvenile Hanged in Iran

The Islamic clerical regime’s henchmen publicly hanged two young boys in Edalat (Justice) Square in Mashhad (northeast Iran). One was 18 and the other below 18 years of age. Before hanging the victims, the henchmen flogged each of them 228 times. The executioners wore masks fearing reprisals and anti-riot forces put the entire area under their control to prevent outbreak of public protests.

The victims were charged with disrupting public order among other things. They were imprisoned 14 months ago, one was 16 years old at the time of the alleged offenses.

The rise in public executions, including those of juveniles, comes as the European Union has refused in the past three years to table a resolution at the United Nations Human Rights Commission to condemn the violations of human rights in Iran.

That was not part of the report I got but still, that's no reason to take a life.

And homosexuals in America think WE are intolerant!
