help stop the execution of mohammad feda'i and saeed jazee in iran...

mohammad feda'i and saeed jazee are both 21 years old and are in imminent danger of being executed in iran for crimes that were committed when each was 17...mohammad feda'i claims that he acted in self defense and saeed jazee insists that he killed a man by accident during a scuffle.help me prevent the executions of these juvenile offenders...

iran is one of only a handful of countries that still executes people for crimes committed when they were juveniles...currently, at least 84 child offenders are under sentence of death in iran...many were convicted after unfair legal proceedings...you can help prevent the executions of these juvenile offenders...

the execution of child offenders is a violation of international law and iran's obligations under the convention on the rights of the child, to which iran is a state party...join me in urging ayatollah sharoudi to demonstrate courage and compassion and commute these death sentences now...

help stop the execution of mohammad feda'i and saeed jaze

peace out <3
