Two teenagers spared execution in Iran

From SaveDelara.Com - New hopes for Iran's children’s rights activists: Two teenagers spared execution sentences due to their young ages.

As legal experts continue the debate about the recent orders of two Tehran province judges, holding that the death sentence of a 15 year old boy, Nosrat, should be commuted because he had not reached the requisite mental maturity, in a separate ruling, the judges of Branch 74 of Tehran province’s general criminal court, used the same reasoning to commute the death sentences of 2 other teenagers today. Instead, the teenagers were sentenced to 10 years imprisonment each.

10 years in jail for being gays!
