Alireza Tajiki is a 19 year old teenager due to be executed on 15th May 2016.  He was just 15 years old at the time of the crime.

We are urging Iran's Head of the Judiciary, Ayatollah Sadegh Larijani, to stop this execution.

Executing someone who was a child at the time of the crime is illegal under international law. So is carrying out a death sentence after an unfair trial. 

Please stop Alireza Tajiki’s execution.

#Iran must STOP execution of teenager Alireza Tajiki and grant him a re-trial NOW
