Iranian regime hanged a young man named Javad Shojaii in the central city of Isfahan on Tuesday. He was 16 at the time of the alleged crime, state-run daily Etemad reported today.

The execution took place while human rights organizations had asked for annulment of his execution, but the clerical regime, heedless of these requests, carried out the execution.

Currently there are at least 70 minors on death row in Iran, three of whom in Isfahan Prison, according to international organizations.
