Stop women and Juvenile execution

January 12, 2006 (Stop Fundamentalism) – According to Amnesty International, Delara Darabi, aged 19, is at risk of immanent execution for a murder which took place when she was 17 years old. She denies committing the crime.

According to reports in the Persian daily Aftab, Delara Darabi when she was 17 and a 19-year-old man named Amir Hossein broke into a woman’s house to commit a burglary. Amir Hossein allegedly killed the woman during the burglary. Delara Darabi initially confessed to the murder, but has since retracted her confession. She claims that Amir Hossein asked her to admit responsibility for the murder to protect him from execution, believing that as she was under the age of 18, she could not be sentenced to death.

With all eyes on an  Iraq and an executive branch both out of control, Iran under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has not so quietly emerged as about as frightening a rogue state as can be imagined.
