"The UN has repeatedly urged Iran to cease the appalling practice of executing child offenders," it added. 
"There are deeply troubling allegations that forced confessions extracted through torture were used in the conviction of Mr. Rezaiee, and there are numerous other serious concerns about violations of his fair trial rights," the statement said.
