October 2, 2018 – The Center for Human Rights in Iran
(CHRI) condemns the execution of Zeinab Sekaanvand Lankarani who was charged with
murder as a juvenile and hanged in violation of all international laws and
standards, and calls on the Iranian judiciary to immediately halt the
executions of all juvenile offenders.
“Iran claims it doesn’t execute juveniles but it isn’t
fooling anyone by arresting minors and waiting until they’re adults to hang
them,” said CHRI’s Executive Director Hadi Ghaemi.
“Zeinab Sekaanvand was married off at 15, jailed at 17
and later executed for the charge of murder despite evidence that she had been
forced to confess to the crime under torture,” Ghaemi added.
After her arrest in March 2012 for allegedly murdering
her husband, who she said had subjected her to repeated physical and verbal
abuse, Sekevaand was held in a police station in Oroumiyeh for 20 days and
subjected to torture by police officers “through beatings all over her
body,” Amnesty Internationalreported.
