Iran continues to send juvenile offenders to the gallows despite a decades-old pledge to not use the death penalty against people who commit a crime while under the age of 18, Amnesty International said.<\/p>\n

The London-based human rights organization slammed Iran’s “hypocrisy” in a new report<\/a> detailing the country’s executions of at least 73 juveniles from 2005 to 2015 with another 160 juvenile offenders currently sitting on death row.<\/p>\n

The actual figures are likely higher because information about the death penalty in Iran is often shrouded in secrecy, Amnesty said<\/p>\n
