}}Amirhossein Pourjafar (also stylised as Amir Hossein Pourjafar, 17 December 1999 - 4 January 2018) was an Iranian juvenile offender who was sentenced to death and executed[1] for the 2016 rape and murder of Setayesh Ghoreyshi, a 7-year-old girl from Iran's marginalised Afghan community. Pourjafar's execution sparked international outrage at the execution of juvenile offender who had barely become of age before his death, and renewed questions about the ethics of the death penalty.[2]

Legal proceedings

In September 2016, Branch 7 of Criminal Court No. 1 in Tehran handed Pourjafar two death sentences, one for murder in accordance with the Shariah legal principle of qisas and another for rape. He was also sentenced to 74 lashes for mutilating Ghoreyshi's corpse by placing it in a bath of acid after her death. The Supreme Court upheld both death sentences in January 2017.

Pourjafar had initially scheduled to be executed on 19 October 2017.[3] Iranian law allows the execution of death row inmates who committed their capital offences as minors, however it does not allow the execution of those inmates before they turn 18. Although Pourjafar would have been 17 years, 10 months and 2 days old on 19 October 2017 according to the Gregorian calendar, the Iranian legal system initially did not stay his execution as he would have been of age according to the Islamic calendar (19 October 2017 was equivalent to the Islamic date of 29 Muharram 1439, at which point Pourjafar would have been 18 years, 4 months and 20 days old, according to the Islamic calendar.) Ultimately, the execution was called off following pressure from the United Nations.[4] Assuming Pourjafar had been executed on this date, he would have been the fifth of six juvenile offenders executed in Iran in 2017.[5]

Pourjafar's execution was rescheduled to Thursday 4 January 2018, less than three weeks after his 18th birthday. Despite mounting criticism of his death sentence, he was hanged as scheduled at the gallows in Gohardasht Prison, Tehran at dawn on 4 January 2018.[6]
