Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Iran (Human Rights).
Iran (Human Rights)
My hon. Friend reads out a devastating roll-call of abuses. However, the situation is even worse than he outlined. He mentioned 252 executions, but in 2011 that number included the execution of a juvenile. There are currently 143 juvenile offenders on death row in Iran, in complete defiance of international law.
