Human Rights (December 7, 2018): Milad Azimi, a juvenile offender who allegedly
committed a murder at the age of 17, was forgiven by the plaintiffs on
Thursday, December 6, 2018.
Milad's death
sentence was upheld by the Iranian Supreme Court a few months ago. The
plaintiff had set a diyeh (blood-money) of 500 million Toman (approximately
50.000 USD) with the deadline of December 4. Milad's family was not able to pay
that amount of money.
However, the
local human rights defenders and civil society activists could motivate
righteous people to help to collect money.
