According to “Iran Newspaper”, Mola Gol Hassan a minor on death row was executed in Evin prison with 9 adults on Wednesday January 21st 2008.
On November 14th 2004, 17 year-old Mola was trying to steal money from his fellow Afghan countryman Fakhr al’din where he ended up killing him. He was tried in a criminal court and was convicted of murder and sentenced to death.
Iran Newspaper had reported that it had been 4 years since the incident making Mola now 21 years old. If this news is correct, it would suggest that Mola was a minor at the time of the offence which is against International human rights law. This would bring a total number of child executions to 28 in the last 2 years.
Mola Gol Hassan’s execution is the first child execution in Iran in 2009.
