In an interview with Vida Samei of Radio France International (Persian language) the 2003 Nobel Peace Laureate, Shirin Ebadi said: "For many years the human rights defenders and children rights activists have been objecting to child executions but Iran's regime is not paying any attention."
"Due to the low age of penal responsibility in Iran, when girl at the age of 10 and a boy at the age of 15 commit a crime, they will be treated the same as an adult while it does not seem like those below the age of 18 have reached the mental maturity" she added.

BEWARE: Hassan Namazee is Hillary's finance Chair
by hassan (not verified) on Fri Feb 15, 2008 09:28 AM PSTRed NewYork Sun's editorial:
What in the world are advisers to both Senators Obama and Clinton doing in Syria in the middle of a presidential campaign — and why are the two campaigns so unforthcoming about the details of the visits? The same week that a terrorist mastermind harbored by the Baathist regime in Damascus was assassinated by a car bomb, both one of Mr. Obama's foreign policy counselors, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a long-time critic of Israel, and one of Mrs. Clinton's national finance chairs, Hassan Nemazee, were meeting with President Assad.
