Iran execute man who commits murder as a minor
Iran has executed a man who was arrested for murder when he was aged just 17 in an apparent violation of international law.
Arman Abdolali, now 25, was a child when he was detained before he was then subjected to a 'grossly unfair trial marred by torture-tainted "confessions", according to Amnesty International.
Abdolali was first sentenced to death in December 2015 after the disappearance of his girlfriend Ghazaleh Shakur a year earlier.
Her body was never found and the court found he had murdered her without leaving any trace after achieving 'mental maturity' and understood the nature of the crime.
