On January 3, 2006, 18-year-old Nazanin was sentenced to death for murder by court in Iran after she reportedly admitted fatally stabbing one of three men who attempted to rape her and her 16-year-old niece in a park in Tehran in March 2005. She was seventeen at the time.

Iran is a signatory to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and is therefore under obligation NOT to impose the death penalty on those under the age of 18.

I’m astounded by people who want to ‘know’ the universe when it’s hard enough to find your way around Chinatown. - Woody Allen (1935 - )

I think the same can be said of an intent to ‘conquer’ the universe, if you will, by isolated acts of brutal terrorism and inhuman coercion.
