Amnesty International calles for save Hamid Ahmadi

Hamid Ahmadi, is a young man who is  the third time that his  execution is scheduled to take place. In the two previous instances, they were halted at the last minute. 
He was 17 years old when he was sentenced to death in 2009 for the fatal stabbing in 2008 of a young man during a fight between five boys. The court relied on confessions reportedly obtained under torture and ill-treatment at a police station, where Mr. Admadi was denied access to a lawyer and his family.
A group of United Nations human rights experts* has appealed to the Islamic Republic of Iran to immediately halt the execution of juvenile offender Hamid Ahmadi in 2 February 2017 . 

Amnesty International called for save Hamid Ahmadi and pointed that The Iranian regime must immediately stop the execution of a man arrested for a crime committed while he was 17 years old, Amnesty International has said, ahead of his scheduled execution on 11 February.

Iran’s regime is a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child but its outdated laws continue to allow the death penalty to be applied to girls as young as nine and boys as young as 15.
