Norway condemns the execution of minor in Iran
Norge fordømmer henrettelse av mindreårig i Iran
“It is deeply regrettable that Iran, despite strong international reactions, today executed the juvenile offender Alireza Mollasoltani in a public ceremony,” commented Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
- Det er sterkt beklagelig at Iran til tross for sterke internasjonale reaksjoner i dag i en offentlig seremoni henrettet den mindreårige fangen Alireza Mollasoltani, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Every year, Iran is one of the countries in the world that carries out most executions.
Iran er hvert år et av de landene i verden som gjennomfører flest dødsstraffer.
Norway has raised this issue with the Iranian authorities on a number of occasions, and urged them to reconsider the question of the death penalty.
Norge har ved flere anledninger tatt dette opp med iranske myndigheter, og oppfordret dem til å revurderer spørsmålet om dødsstraff.
“President Ahmadinejad himself has said that Iran does not execute minors, and it gives cause for great concern that the Iranian authorities now seem to be deviating from this policy,” Mr Støre said.
- President Ahmadinejad har selv sagt at Iran ikke henretter mindreårige, og det er svært urovekkende at iranske myndigheter nå ser ut til å fravike denne linjen, sier Støre.
Norway is engaged in efforts to abolish capital punishment, both in multilateral forums and through active cooperation with human rights organisations and likeminded countries.
Norge arbeider mot dødsstraff både i multilaterale fora og gjennom aktivt samarbeid med menneskerettighetsorganisasjoner og likesinnede land.
The issue of the death penality is raised at regular intervals with countries where it is used.
Bruken av dødsstraff blir jevnlig tatt opp med land der dette praktiseres.
In such cases Norway considers use of the death penalty to be a violation of international law.
I slike tilfeller anser Norge dødsstraff som et brudd på folkeretten.
Norway also urges countries that have not yet done so to ratify international agreements that prohibit the use of the death penalty.
Videre oppfordrer Norge de statene som ikke har gjort det til å ratifisere internasjonale avtaler som forbyr dødsstraff.

In connection with this meeting, State Secretary Gry Larsen commented: “We are deeply concerned about the deterioration of the human rights situation in Iran.
- Vi er dypt bekymret over den negative utviklingen av menneskerettighetssituasjonen i Iran, sier statssekretær Gry Larsen.
“Norway protested against the execution of Mr Shojaee.
- Norge protesterte på henrettelsen av Shojaee.
Last week, Norway aligned itself with a statement from the EU condemning the death sentences for Mr Shojaee and Mr Angoti, both of whom were sentenced for crimes committed as minors.
I forrige uke sluttet Norge seg til en uttalelse fra EU som fordømte dødsdommene mot Shojaee og Angoti som begge er dømt for forbrytelser begått som mindreårige.
The EU encouraged the Iranian authorities to commute the sentences against the two men.
EU oppfordret iranske myndigheter til å omgjøre straffen mot de to.
Despite strong international pressure on the Iranian authorities, Mr Shojaee was executed on Sunday 11 October.
På tross av sterkt internasjonalt press ovenfor iranske myndigheter ble Shojaee henrettet søndag 11. oktober.

“Norway deeply regrets the execution on 22 October of ten Iranian prisoners,” said State Secretary Gry Larsen.

The ten individuals who were executed had been convicted of drug-related offences, and Norway is concerned about the way in which the trial proceedings were conducted.
De ti henrettede var dømt for narkotikaforbrytelser, men Norge er bekymret for hvordan rettsprosessen er blitt gjennomført.
“Norway opposes the death penalty as a matter of principle.
- Norge er prinsipiell motstander av dødsstraff.
It is particularly worrying when the death penalty is imposed in countries where the rule of law is as weak as it is in Iran,” Ms Larsen said.
Det er særlig bekymringsfullt når dødsstraff benyttes i et land hvor rettssikkerheten er så svak som i Iran, sier statssekretæren.
Norway’s ambassador to Iran raised the issue of Norway’s concern over the extensive use of the death penalty in Iran at a meeting with Iran’s deputy foreign minister on 22 October.

Bygging av ytterligere 3000 boenheter i ulovlige israelske bosettinger i Palestina reduserer mulighetene for et sammenhengende palestinsk territorium, svekker tilliten mellom partene og undergraver utsiktene til fred, sier utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide.
