- Capital_punishment_in_Iran abstract "Capital punishment in Iran islegal. Crimes punishable by death include murder, rape, child molestation, sodomy, drug trafficking, armed robbery, kidnapping, terrorism and treason. According to Amnesty International, there were 156 death sentences passed and 360 executions carried out in Iran in 2011, according to Iranian public sources 252 executions, thereof 5 women and 1 juvenile, were carried out during 2011. The overwhelming majority were drug related (up to 74%), and almost all executions were carried out for murder, aggravated rape, deadly robbery/kidnapping, or large scale drug trafficking.[citation needed]Iran has garnered Western media attention and criticism for allegedly carrying out executions of minors despite having signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which forbids executing child offenders for crimes committed under the age of 18. Iran justifies its actions by claiming dispensation in cases where the Convention is deemed "incompatible with Islamic jurisprudence". Iran has also been criticized for allegedly using stoning as capital punishment, though an Iranian judiciary spokesman fiercely denied the accusations of stoning and executing minors, describing these as propaganda against the Iranian state.Iran is claimed to have the second-highest execution rate in the world (after China), but other countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Nigeria allegedly carry out secret executions. Iran insists that the execution numbers human rights groups allege are exaggerated, and that executions are only carried out after a lengthy judicial process. Iranian officials cite that they are fighting a large-scale drug war along its eastern borders, and the increase of drug lords and dealers causes a rise in executions.Execution of women in Iran is less common, though 5 women were executed in Iran in 2011 (2010).".
