Who was Hamidreza Azari?

Hamidreza Azari was 17 years of age. As per freedoms associations, Hamidreza Azari killed a man in a fight in May when he was 16 years of age. Iran believes this execution to be a new break of the Unified Countries Show on the Freedoms of the Kid, which expresses that a kid is any person younger than 18.

This is Hamidreza Azari. He was 17, an innocent Iranian teenager who was executed by mullah regime’s thugs in Iran today. But you wouldn’t know it because many western news outlets are too busy being propaganda wings for Hamas right now! Where’s the outrage from @UN or @UNICEF? pic.twitter.com/Mmr2spvUEC

Hamidreza Azari was placed to death on Friday in the Sabzevar jail, which is arranged in the region of Razavi Khorasan’s eastern town. This data was acquired from Hengaw, situated in Norway, and Iran Basic freedoms (IHR).

Iran Worldwide, a Persian-language satellite Station, confirmed the execution too and noticed that Azari had been filling in as a piece specialist for various years, having started quite early in life, in spite of being the lone youngster in his loved ones.

Iran Common liberties (IHR) takes note of that Iran is one of only a handful of exceptional countries that executes and sentences minors younger than eighteen. This training has drawn analysis. In view of information from IHR, Iran has completed something like 68 executions of minors beginning around 2010.

Mahmood-Amiry Moghaddam, the gathering’s chief, caused to notice the irregularity in Iran’s age regulations, bringing up that albeit an individual should be 18 years of age to get a driver’s permit, they can be executed at 15 years old.

At the point when Hamidreza A. was first executed, Iranian media erroneously detailed that he was 18 years of age in a “purposeful endeavor to dodge responsibility for disregarding worldwide regulations.” This misrepresentation is reliable with the more extensive scrutinize of Iran’s execution strategy, which includes completing capital punishment for individuals who were underage at the hour of their supposed violations.
