This report highlights the past and present challenges and choices in Iran's human rights record on juvenile offenders. It considers legal and theological perspectives on key issues and presents case studies on selected individuals whose mistreatment raises serious questions about the injustices faced by young people in the Iranian judicial system. The report offers practical recommendations to the international community as it takes a closer look at the Islamic Republic and its human rights record through the 2010 Universal Periodic Review.
