A documentary about a juvenile who executed for crimes against chastity

Though this is not a case but it very important that we all know what is going on in Iranian judiciary system and I guess this documentary would give you wide-range info that how injustice cause by Islamic judiciary which in fact should be responsible for justice, irony. I thought I should have put a these videos altogether here in a post.

On 15 August, 2004, Atefah Sahaaleh was hanged in a public square in the Iran. They accused her adultery and described her as 22 years old but she was just 16. She charged for crimes against chastity.

BBC developed a documentary that comes in five episodes. If you don’t have time, watching the last episode can give you basic insight about this case and how inappropriately judiciary mishandled it. Nothing has changed in judiciary for good and they still continue to carry their unfair sentences and executions.
