Iran has postponed the execution of a young man convicted of murder while still minor after the EU urged the Islamic Republic to spare his life.
Behnoud Shojai, who was due to be hanged today, was just 17
>>>Such a relief! Thank you European Union!
And many thanks to Nazanin Afshin Jam for calling the family of the victim last night. In the news it says that the execution has been postponed for one month with an agreement from the victim's family.
Thank you Nazanin! You're the best!
