Iran executes gay teenager in violation of international law – “Iran has proved that its sickening enthusiasm for putting juveniles to death, in contravention of international law, knows no bounds.“ | The Jerusalem Post
BERLIN — Iran’s regime executed a gay adolescent in July – the first confirmed execution of someone convicted as a juvenile in the Islamic Republic in 2016 – Amnesty International reported this week.
Hassan Afshar, 19, was hanged in Arak Prison in Iran’s Markazi Province on July 18, after he was convicted of „forced male-to-male anal intercourse“ (‘lavat-e be onf’) in early 2015, the NGO said in a statement Tuesday.
