Wow! Great justice system they have there in Iran. You get a stay but are executed anyway:
An Iranian man has been hanged for rape despite his alleged victims withdrawing their accusations and a judicial review being ordered into the sentence.You know, for a country that supposed to be living under God's law they are awfully unjust. It certainly doesn't sound like this:
Makwan Mouloudzadeh, 20, had been found guilty of raping three teenage boys when he was 13 years old.
The hanging took place on Wednesday morning at a prison in Kermanshah province in western Iran.
Human rights groups say international law strictly forbids execution of child offenders, even after they become 18.
"On 11 November the head of the justice administration of Kermanshah received an order from the judiciary head, Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, to stop the verdict being carried out," the lawyer, Saeed Eqbali, was quoted as saying.
"But the case, which was supposed to be reviewed in Tehran, was sent back from there to Kermanshah, and the execution was carried out quickly," the lawyer said.

During court proceedings, Mr Mouloudzadeh withdrew a confession he had made earlier, saying it had been the result of coercion by the police, the US-based group says.
Deuteronomy 16:19 You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous.Hanging an innocent child when he's been given a reprieve? Really doesn't sound like what the God of Scriptures would do.
Deuteronomy 32:4 "The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.
This is what man thinks is righteousness.
