Behnam,Minor,pleads for life before being hanged! IRAN

On Wednesday, the Iranian regime hanged a minor, identified as Behnam Zare, whose alleged crime was committed at the age of 15. Roughly a week ago on August 19, 2008, another minor, Reza Hejazi, was hanged for an alleged crime committed at the age of 15 as well.

The Iranian regime is a leader in execution of minors whose alleged crimes have been committed when they were under 18 years of age. No other country in the world has executed a minor this year. Iran is a signatory of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Convention on the Rights of the Child, which are meant to put an end to such executions.

The rapidly increasing number of minor executions is a dire and distressing demonstration of the mullahs' actions, which are carried out against citizens' rights and violate international laws. The regime's trading partners in Europe ignore their moral obligations and continue to trade with such a regime. The volume of trade between the regime and European countries has touched 40 billion dollars a year.

Behnam Zare, the young man hanged by the regime yesterday, was born in 1989 and had stressed that his actions were irresponsible and had led to an accident. His recorded words in prison before his execution took place confirm this. In the recordings, he had said, "My name is Behnam Zare, and I have been incarcerated at the Adel Abad prison in the city of Shiraz for the past three years. I committed murder at the age of 15, and I now regret what I did. I ask all of you, advocates of human rights and free individuals, to save my life. What happened was an accident. I'm pleading that you save my life. I want to live and be free. Right now, I'm spending the last days of my life. I may be taken to the gallows any minute now. Will God approve of the death of a 15 year old? I ask all those who hear my voice, is there anyone who can help me? I want you to communicate my message to the authorities. I call on you to save my life because I want to live."

Zare's lawyer and family were not informed of the timing and location of his execution, which is a violation of international laws.

The two hangings in the past week bring the total number of executed minors in Iran this year to six. A human rights organization in Iran has reported that 132 more minors are currently awaiting execution.

The insistence of the Iranian regime's Judiciary to carry out such suppressive executions continuously and at a fast pace, despite growing calls of protest in Iran and abroad, demonstrates the mullahs' sheer thirst for blood. There are absolutely no indications that the hangings do solve the fundamental economic and social ills that lead to the crimes being committed.

United Nations representatives have repeatedly called upon the Iranian regime to comply with its international obligations. Behnam Zare was executed a day after a European Union statement condemned the hanging of Reza Hejazi. In its statement, the EU had stressed that the execution was a "blatant violation" of Iran's international human rights obligations.

The international community's reluctance to employ effective measures against the Iranian regime, including the imposition of comprehensive economic, diplomatic, weapons, and oil sanctions, has emboldened the regime to persist on its current path.

The UN (Useless Nations) is a worthless money-pit where 3rd world criminals steal money and self influence to the highest bidders. It is a bureaucracy of malignant narcissists.

Asking the UN to safeguard human rights is about as helpful as blowing your nose after swallowing cyanide.

My cousin who is Christian almost killed a Muslim in a driving accident. If he had died my cousin would have been executed. Luckily he and his family now live in America and have gotten out of a country run by mad men. This regime destroyed Iran in every way Iran was a jewel now its an eye sore.

@Fishkid88 No it's just that the more you learn about mankind the less you like man. I devote all my energy and any spare money to animal causes that protect puppies and kitties. They are the only truly innocent ones who are executed every day due to overpopulation. I wonder what this guy did to get hanged? They never tell you the crime I notice. I mean if a 15 year old killed 10 people, I"m not all that sympathetic to his pleas for help. But not sure what the case is here.

Are humans supposed to get more emotional as they age ? Because I just watched all the haulocaust, Mexican drug cartel and execution clips I could find and it doesn't effect me. I'm kind of scared that I'll turn into a serial killer. JK but seriously

Listening to the song of john lennon "imagine" and think every bit of the lyrycs,. this makes me forget for awhile all of this old people decisions...

What's worse? A government that executes murderers regardless of age, or a society, like ours, that lets so many murderers and rapists 'off the hook?' What about the victim and his family (the first initial victim). Our corrupt justice system is a business with blood on its hands.
