IRAN has hanged a 17-year-old convicted killer despite international pleas for Tehran to honour treaties it has signed banning the execution of minors.
Mohammad Hassanzadeh was the second juvenile offender to be hanged in Iran this year. Amnesty International said more than 85 child offenders are on death row in Iran.
