Makwan Moloudzadeh was a 21-year-old Iranian Kurdish man who was executed in Kermanshah, Iran, on December 5, 2007.
He was convicted of a sexual offense alleged to have occurred when he was just 13 years old.
Key Details of the Case:
Trial Irregularities:
Moloudzadeh was convicted under the principle of the judge's "knowledge", even though forensic evidence was completely absent.
Witness Recantation:
During the trial, the complainants formally withdrew their allegations, stating they had lied or been forced to confess.
International Backlash:
The execution drew widespread international condemnation, as executing individuals for crimes allegedly committed under the age of 18 is a direct violation of international human rights laws, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Human Rights Reports:
Organizations such as Amnesty International España and Iran Human Rights extensively documented the flaws in his trial and the immediate dangers faced by child offenders on death row.
Here is the restored footage in 4k from his morgue video.
