We have been informed by Iranian attorney Mr. Mostafaei, that 18-year-old Amir Khaleghi is in urgent danger and has been scheduled to be executed this coming Sunday, February 22nd 2009.
Mr. Mostafaei said that "Amir Khaleghi was 16 years old, when he bought alcohol from a drug store, mixed it with orange juice and became drunk. He saw some friends hanging out on the street sidewalk close to a vendor and jokingly told the vendor not to sell anything to the other kids. A fight broke out, without premeditation, one of those involved in the fight Ali Malekpour was stiked in the chest and was killed. Amir Khaleghi does not remember how the incident happend. He says he wandered around until he was sober and felt very sad and remorseful for what had just taken place. He went to the city of Qom and later to Jamkaran where he turned himself into police. He explained his drinking matter and what he remembered of the incident. Branch 74 convicted him to "ghesas" (murder) which was confirmed in branch 27 of the Supreme Court.
His state appointed lawyer Mr. Sayed Ahmad Mobarragh worked hard to defend Amir, but his efforts were fruitless. According to Mr. Mostafaei, Amir was convicted despite the court taking into consideration that he was intoxicated, he was a juvenile offender and the fact that it is in breach of article 37 of the conventions that the council of experts had approved in oppostion to him being tried for "ghesas".
Stop Child Executions encourages everyone to take action once again for Amir Khaleghi to have his death sentence stayed.

Amir's execution delayed for 2 months
by SCE Campaign on Sun Feb 22, 2009 02:38 AM PSTاز چند روز پیش که خبر اعدام قریب الوقوع امیر خالقی که در کودکی مرتکب جرم شده بود را شنیدم به هر دری زدم تا اجرای حکم متوقف شود. بسیاری از فعالین حقوق بشر، رسانه های فعال در زمینه حقوق بشر، خبرنگاران و حتی مادران صلح به انضمام انجمنهای مدافع حقوق کودک و یونیسف و نیز ریاست دانشکده حقوق و علوم سیاسی دانشگاه تهران جناب آقای کریمی همه تلاش خودشان را به کار بستند تا در نهایت دادستان تهران و سرپرست اجرای احکام دادسرای امور جنایی تهران، صلاح را در عدم اجرای حکم صادره دیده و به لطف خدا این نوجوان صبح امروز از مرگ به صورت موقتی نجات یافت
مصطفایی.
I hope...
