Just when I thought I couldn't be more disgusted with human behaivor I find this story. Age of execution for girls in Iran is 9, compared to 15 for boys. It gets worse, they can't execute virgins so they marry them off to prison guards who then rape the children before they are executed the next day. The Iranian people deserve better than this. There isn't a death painful enough for these people propagating this act In Iran, young girls are forced to marry prison guards. Then executed the next day. (msn.com) Among those arrested are hundreds of children - young girls fighting for their futures. Iran is one of the world's last countries to execute "juvenile offenders," with nine the age of criminal responsibility for girls, compared to 15 for boys. But under Iranian law, you can't execute a minor if they're a virgin. That roadblock has been solved in the past by marrying the girls off to prison guards to be raped the night before their murders - a practice that's been documented over the decades by journalists, families, activists and even a former leader. In 2014 Justice For Iran published a report on the organised rape of virgin girls awaiting execution in the country's prisons, specifically focusing on the 1980s. It detailed that the practice was systemic, and likely approved of by higher officials within the government.
What “crime” can a 9-year-old girl commit that anyone, anywhere in the world, would seriously entertain executing her?
Fathers, grandfathers, brothers, and uncles must be chin deep in Sharia law to put up with executing 9 year old relatives. I would think the men of Iran would rise up to stop any execution of young girls.
Sad because with a good gubmnt, Iran could be such a great place as most of the people I have ever met from there have been really good, smart people.
