On October 21, The United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed his concern over the rights of women and minorities in Iran, as well as over the death penalty, including juvenile executions and stoning, in a new report to the General Assembly on the country&rsquo;s human rights situation. <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The report said there has been a sudden surge of executions in recent months, and the UN Human Rights Committee has sounded the alarm over the &ldquo;extremely high number of death sentences, many resulting from trials in which the guarantees of due process of law had not been properly applied.&rdquo;<br \/>In June 2008, the European Parliament &quot;Stresses that juvenile death sentences are in direct contravention of the international obligations and commitments to which the Islamic Republic of Iran is a signatory, specifically as set out in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, both clearly prohibiting the execution of minors or people who have been convicted of crimes committed when they were minors.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCRI &ndash; Amir Hossein Solimani, an 18-year-old soon will face gallows.
