A young man was hanged in Isfahan today

Iran Human Rights, July 1: A young man identified as Hamid was hanged in Isfahan’s prison early this morning according to the Iranian daily newspaper qudsdaily. He was convicted of a murder two years ago (May 2006). Hamid’s age was not mentioned in the report.

However the website "Ebrat", which is close to the security forces reported that " a 19 years old man, identified as Hamid, was hanged in the Isfahan prison today". If the age given by Ebrat is correct, Hamid was 17 years old when he committed the offence he was hanged for, making him a minor offender.
