In February 2007 when Stop Child Execution Petition [1] and website at www.stopchildexecutions.com [2] were launched we were aware of 25 recorded cases of children awaiting execution in Iran. Due to highened awareness about the subject within Iran every month parents and lawyers of more children in Iran have contacted SCE and others asking for help.
Only in the past 10 days we have been informed of 4 more children facing execution (all being represented by Mohammad Mostafaei). The recorded number of children awaiting execution in Iran has now more than tripelled to 79 .
As of August 27, 2007 SCE has recorded 85 children facing executions worldwide: 79 in Iran, 2 in Saudi Arabia, 2 in Sudan and 2 in Yemen, all Islamic countries. So far in 2007 there are 3 known cases of child executions, 2 in Iran and 1 in Saudi Arabia.
