Iran Insists Executing Children Is Not a Human Rights Violation
30 Jun 2021
Senior Iranian official Majid Tafreshi, a member of the Iranian regime’s High Council for Human Rights, argued on Wednesday that executing underage children is not a “symbol of violations of human rights.” Tafreshi said Iran executes children under 18 about “three or four times” a year.
Tafreshi made his remarks in an interview with AFP prompted by United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet blasting Iran for its “widespread use of the death penalty” a week ago.
Bachelet cited two recent executions of individuals convicted for crimes they allegedly committed when they were underage. She noted one was executed “following a judicial process that appears to have been deeply flawed.”

Hamas, designated a terrorist organization by the United States, Canada, and Europe, has launched or coordinated the launch of more than 3,000 missiles from Gaza. Hamas is acting with direct support from Iran to advance their shared goal of destroying Israel. Senior Iranian officials have publicly endorsed the terrorist group’s offensive. Hamas, in turn, has praised the Iranian regime for providing it with the weapons and financing it needs to carry out these attacks.
The Biden administration’s strategy in the region, or lack thereof, is jeopardizing the hard-earned progress that was made under the previous administration through the Abraham Accords and other agreements. This tragic violence, the first of its kind in many years, shows exactly what happens when the U.S. hides behind moral equivalence and refuses to stand firmly on principle. If this continues, the window to build on past progress in the region could close.
