According to the information received, Mr. Rouhollah Tavani was sentenced to death under charges of “Sabb Al-Nabi” (insults to the Prophet of Islam or other Great Prophets), for allegedly insulting the Holy Prophet and producing alcoholic beverages, which does not constitute “most serious crimes” under international law. Furthermore, Mr. Tavani reportedly suffers from psychosocial disabilities. In a second case, Ms. Farzaneh Moradi was scheduled to be executed on 1 February 2014 for the alleged murder of her husband. Ms. Moradi’s execution was postponed for one month, reportedly due to a lack of evidence that she was the perpetrator of the crime. Concern is expressed about the inadequate examination during the proceedings of the personal circumstances of Ms. Moradi, including the fact that she was a victim of forced and early marriage. Further concerns are expressed in respect of the lack of fair trial guarantees in both cases. Reply A/HRC/26/21 68 Date Type
