With at least 26 executions in the past three years, Iran remains by far the Leader of five countries still carrying executions for crimes committed by juveniles, a human rights organization said in a report released today. The other countries are also part of the Muslim world: Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Pakistan and Yemen. The organization slammed juvenile death penalty as a “barbaric practice” and urged governments attending next week’s United Nations General Assembly to adopt reforms that protect the rights of children facing trials. Clarisa Bencomo, a researcher for HRW on children’s rights, sounded the alarm:We are only five states away from a complete ban on the juvenile death penalty. … These few holdouts should abandon this barbaric practice so that no one ever again is executed for a crime committed as a child. … Even states that still execute juvenile offenders acknowledge that such executions are wrong. But changes in law and practice need to be faster.According to the New-York-based Human Rights Watch, over 100 offenders who were under 18 when they allegedly committed crimes remain on death row around the world.In Iran, capital punishment can be imposed if the defendant has reached the age of “majority," which is set by Iranian law as young as 9 for girls and 15 for boys. In Saudi Arabia, offenders who have reached puberty at the time of the crime can be sentenced to death. In 2005, the United States Supreme Court ruled as ...

The discussion is moderated by Nina Easton (Washington Bureau Chief, Fortune). The panelists are: * Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) * Robert C.

Eight kidnappers of a group of European tourists and their Egyptian guides led soldiers on a high-speed desert chase on Sunday, ending in a firefight that left all but two of the gunmen dead, Sudan's military spokesman said. The two surviving kidnappers told Sudanese soldiers that the tourists were being held by 35 more gunmen in Chad, said the spokesman, Sawarmy Khaled. The desert safari tour of 11 Europeans and eight Egyptians was seized by gunmen deep in the southern Egyptian deserts on Sept. 19 and have apparently been shuttled around in the remote region where Sudan, Chad, Egypt and Libya share borders. Khaled told The Associated Press that Sudanese soldiers were searching the Jebel Oweinat region near the Libyan border when they came upon a white sports utility vehicle carrying eight gunmen. "The armed forces called for it to stop, but they did not respond and there was pursuit in which six of the armed men were killed," he said, including the Leader of the group, which he identified as a Chadian named Bakhit. The kidnapping highlighted how easy it is for bandits to cross the vast, unguarded desert borders, marked only by the occasional wooden signpost in the sand. Gunmen seized 11 Italians, Germans and Romanians and their eight Egyptian guides and drivers and fled into Sudan. On Thursday, Sudanese officials said the kidnappers had moved again, into Libya, but Libyan officials said they couldn't find them. German officials ...
