Date Type 29/07/2015 JUA 29/07/2015 JAL Case No Country Mandate(s) Summary of the allegation transmitted IRN 11/2015 Iran (Islamic Republic of) Iran; Summary executions; Allegations concerning the imminent execution of a juvenile offender. According to the information received, Mr. Salar Shadizadi faces imminent execution for a killing that occurred in February 2007 when he was 15 years old. He was sentenced to death in December 2007 and remained on death row for several years before being transferred to solitary confinement in preparation for execution in 2013. His execution was halted in time to allow him to submit a request for judicial review, as he was under 18 years of age at the time of the offence and article 91 of the revised Penal Code allows courts to review such cases. The Legal Medicine Organisation found no evidence of insanity at the time of the murder and could not conclude anything about his growth or maturity in the seven years since. In the absence of evidence to rebut the presumption that boys at the age of 15 are mentally mature, the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence.
