Alleged risk of execution of a juvenile offender in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
According to the information received, on 17 July 2011, Mr. Saman Naseem, at that
time a juvenile, and member of Party for Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK), was arrested
after an armed confrontation between the Revolutionary Guards and PJAK in
Sardasht, West Azerbaijan Province, which allegedly led to the death of one
Revolutionary Guard and injury of three others. In August 2012, the Supreme Court
overturned the death sentence handed down by the Revolutionary Court in Mahabad
in January 2012, following a trial that fell short of international standards. In April
2013, a criminal court in Mahabad sentenced Mr. Naseem to death for “enmity against
God” (Moharebeh) and “corruption on earth” (Ifsad fil-arz). The death sentence was
upheld by the Supreme Court in December 2013. Mr. Naseem is reportedly currently
detained in Oroumieh Central Prison, awaiting execution.
