Diana Taherabadi, a mere 16-year-old, stands at the brink of a fate no child should ever face: execution. In a world that champions the rights and freedoms of individuals, executing a minor violates fundamental human rights and moral principles. We cannot sit idly by while a young life, filled with potential and promise, is unjustly taken from us.

Under international law, particularly the Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which Iran is a party, the execution of someone who was under 18 at the time of the alleged crime is unequivocally prohibited. However, despite these protections, Iran continues to carry out such executions, drawing widespread condemnation from human rights organizations globally.

Diana's case highlights the urgent need for reform in Iran's judicial system, particularly its treatment of juvenile offenders. Executing minors contradicts the very essence of justice and humanity. Instead, efforts should focus on rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

We urge the Iranian government to halt the execution of Diana Taherabadi and reassess the guidelines that allow such grave injustices. Instead of perpetuating a cycle of violence, Iran has a unique opportunity to align with international standards and respect the sanctity of life.

By signing this petition, you stand for justice, humanity, and the rights of children everywhere. Let us amplify our voices to save Diana's life and push for a system that honors life and dignity. Sign to halt this execution, for Diana, and for a better future for all children.
