Juvenile offender, Reza Alinejad is at imminent risk of execution for a crime he committed at the age of 17. He has been granted a month to obtain the required diyeh (financial compensation) to be paid to the victim’s family. If he is unable to raise 1 billion Iranian rials (approximately US $100, 000) it is likely he will be executed.
