Talk:Capital punishment in Iran

message: According to the article and the appointed sources of information, judge Rezai was further convicted of rape of the defendant... this is an absurdity, since there no reliable information to support this claim and the sources cited says nothing about it.
The section "Offenders under age 18" relies on disinformation form a source in Theran, claiming that the death punishment has been abolished for minors. This claim is heavily disputed by legal experts who have studied the new code.

thread_title:  Phony information 

message: The Jerusalem Post of July 19, 2009 reports of an anonymous telephone interview with a Basiji member, "arranged by a reliable source," which claims that under Iranian law young women may not be executed for capital crimes if they are virgins, so prior to their execution condemned women are forcibly married to and raped by prison guards.  Here are some excerpts:
The Basiji member, who is married with children, spoke soon after his release by the Iranian authorities from detention. He had been held for the "crime" of having set free two Iranian teenagers - a 13-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl - who had been arrested during the disturbances that have followed the disputed June presidential elections. 
He said he had been a highly regarded member of the force, and had so "impressed my superiors" that, at 18, "I was given the 'honor' to temporarily marry young girls before they were sentenced to death."
In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin, he explained. Therefore a "wedding" ceremony is conducted the night before the execution: The young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse with a prison guard - essentially raped by her "husband." 
God forgive them! One day, they will pay the price. Memories are long.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.183.47 (talk) 14:08, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Jerusalem Post is Israeli media, and there is huge animosity between those two countries so it's without a doubt - pure propaganda that should be avoided.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.142.180.10 (talk) 23:15, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Forcible marriage and rape of virgin women on death row 

message: The crimes were mentioned twice in the lead so I removed one of the paragraphs. It is mentioned in the beginning of the first section too, but is slightly different. Which one is right? The first section mentions kidnapping but it isn't mentioned in the lead. Cleanelephant (talk) 01:13, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Crimes 

message: I've added the not in citation given template to the following sentence:
The citation describes the presence of juveniles on death row in Nigeria, but does not address the claim that this practice in Nigeria, China, Pakistan or any other country meets with "little or no rebuke from international organizations". In fact, this wikipedia article cites Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch criticisms of this practice in Saudi Arabia and Nigeria. GabrielF (talk) 20:28, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  added not in citation given tag 

message: Two different uses of moharebeh exist in the article:
"Sometimes the death penalty can be used regardless if the person has been found guilty of moharebeh ("spreading corruption on the earth")."
and:
"Moharebeh (waging war against God or people) is a crime where a weapon is used with violence to "create fear or disruption against national security and citizens""
Please resolve it.

thread_title:  Falling from Heights 

message: The article claims "There were reports of a stoning sentence being carried out in 2012". and cites Death Penalty Database. The relevant part is "In November 2012, the website “Melli-Mazhabi” reported that four women were stoned to death in Iran, although the Tehran Forensic Medicine Department rejected those claims. [14] Melli-Mazhabi’s report has since been cited by notable non-governmental organizations. [15]". 
Where [15] links to US Dept. of State, 2012 Human Rights Report which can be found here (https://web.archive.org/web/20171114091743/http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/204571.pdf), but in that  document  we read (page 5): "Unconfirmed reports on
November 3 on the opposition Melli-Mazhabi Web site claimed that security
agents from the judiciary transferred the bodies of four women who had been
stoned to the Tehran medical examiner’s office. According to the Web site, the
bodies had visible wounds, including on their faces, to indicate torture, beatings,
and stoning. Officials denied the reports but did not provide alternative
explanations for the causes of death of the four women, who had allegedly been
charged with engaging in “illegitimate relationships” and drug use."   --SamiGrith (talk) 17:14, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reports of a stoning sentence being carried out in 2012 are unconfirmed/disputed 

message: I replaced this image with a link to Hanging based on WP:GRATUITOUS and it was reverted. I believe the edit was justified because the image does not add encyclopedic value. This page includes many details about hanging in Iran: it is usually done inside prisons, with particular gallows designs or with cranes, and often with distinctive blue plastic rope and a short drop. This image is of a public execution using white rope, and it is framed closely around the body so neither the drop height nor the gallows is visible. Far from being illustrative of the text, if the image were replaced with a hanging from another part of the world the page would be basically unchanged, and therefore a link to Hanging is more appropriate than this image. --74.98.251.105 (talk) 17:09, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image in "Hanging" section has no encyclopedic value 

message: This long entry leads to the mistaken understanding that modern Iran has an independent judiciary, where the accused are guaranteed a fair trial. No serious observer of Iran believes this; they consistently report that Iran's judicial system is corrupt and basic safeguards for the accused do not exist. Is it possible that this could be made clear in your entry? The entry looks like it was written by Islamist propagandists working for the Iranian regime. 2601:184:4080:F120:483D:DF17:7282:747 (talk) 17:37, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
