The Special Rapporteur is grateful to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its responses concerning Mr. Arzhang Davoodi and Mrs. Yeganeh Salehi. He is following closely further developments on the cases mentioned in the communication.

The Special Rapporteur regrets that the Government did not provide information on the allegations regarding the detention of the other two journalists on the evening of 22 July 2014. He urges authorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran that all proceedings fully comply with international law standards.

Restrictions on the rights of religious minorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran remain deeply concerning. Adherents of recognized and unrecognized religions continue to report arrests and prosecution for worship and participation in religious community affairs, including in private. Measures that exclude religious minorities from legal protections for civil, political, social or economic rights, or that impose special restrictions on the practices or manifestations of religious beliefs continue to violate the obligations of the Islamic Republic of Iran under the Covenant and should be addressed.

Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur would like to refer to General Assembly resolution 63/181, in which the Assembly urges States to step up their efforts to protect and promote freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief, and to this end, to exert the utmost efforts, in accordance with their national legislation and in conformity with international human rights law, to ensure that religious places, sites, shrines and symbols are fully respected and protected and to take additional measures in cases where they are vulnerable to desecration and destruction. As mentioned, inter alia, in paragraph 4 of the Human Rights Committee's general comment no. 22, places of worship are an essential element of the manifestation of the right to freedom of religion or belief to the extent that the great majority of religious communities or communities of belief need the existence of a place of worship where their members can manifest their faith. Moreover, unlike other forms of violations of the right to freedom of religion or belief, attacks or other forms of restriction on places of worship or other religious sites and shrines in many cases violate the right not only of a single individual, but the rights of a group of individuals forming the community that is attached to the place in question

She would like to reiterate the observations and concerns in her previous report (see A/HRC/10/8/Add.1, paras. 94 and paras. 111-112). The Special Rapporteur again urges the Government to ensure that the Baha'i members, who have been detained for more than 20 months so far, receive a fair trial and in this regard she would like to recommend the presence of independent observers during the trials. Reportedly, the trial of Ms. Fariba Kamalabadi, Mr. Jamaloddin Khanjani, Mr. Afif Naeimi, Mr. Saeid Rezaie, Mr. Behrouz Tavakkoli, Mr. Vahid Tizfahm and Ms. Mahvash Sabet began on 12 January 2010 in Tehran, however, no observers were allowed inside the court at that session

In this regard, the Special Rapporteur is very concerned by the continued violations of freedom of religion or belief suffered by members of the Baha'i community. She urges the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to ensure that the Baha'i members who are currently detained receive a fair trial and she would like to recommend the presence of independent observers during the trials.

The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its response to this communication. In its response, the Government indicated that Mr. Ali Chibshat and Mr. Seyyed Khaled Mousavi were arrested on charge of conducting terrorist acts. According to the information provided by the Government, their file was considered in a Court in the city of Ahvaz and the verdict was appealed. The appeal Court reconsidered the case and reaffirmed the verdict. In interpreting article 6(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the United Nations Human Rights Committee has consistently rejected the imposition of a death sentence for offences that do not result in the loss of life, finding that only cases involving murder meet the threshold of the most serious crimes provision. The Special Rapporteur urges the Iranian authorities to bring its domestic legislation into conformity with the most serious crimes provision under international law, and refrain from any further death sentence or execution in violation of these standards.

The Special Rapporteur notes that 17 communications were sent to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the period under review. He thanks the Government for the responses received to five communications. At the same time, he regrets that the Government did not provide replies to 12 communications, and encourages it to respond substantively to all of them. The Special Rapporteur is particularly concerned about the high number of cases regarding the imposition of the death penalty in the Islamic Republic of Iran in contravention of international human rights law, namely of the most serious crimes provision and the standards on fair trial and due process safeguards. Should these allegations be corroborated, he strongly encourages the Government to stay all executions and commute without delay the death sentences. He also calls upon the Government to bring its domestic legislation and practice in conformity with the international law requirements regarding the imposition of the death penalty in the countries which have not yet abolished it.

Laws permitting the death sentence to be imposed on juvenile offenders are inherently inconsistent with the international legal obligations assumed by the Islamic Republic of Iran and should be promptly repealed.

I wish to thank your Excellency for your letter dated 15 July 2009 in response to my letter of 23 August 2007, in respect to another case in which the accused juvenile offender had been sentenced to qesas.

While I welcome this outcome, I remain concerned that such efforts to decrease the carrying out of death sentences against offenders who were juveniles is an utterly inadequate approach to complying with your Excellency's Government's obligations under international law. These can only be fulfilled by immediately stopping all executions for crimes committed by persons who were not aged 18 at the time of the offence.

Although the death penalty is not, per se, prohibited under international law, I would like to remind your Excellency's Government that it must be regarded as an extreme exception to the fundamental right to life, and must as such be interpreted in the most restrictive manner. It is crucial that all restrictions and fair trial standards pertaining to capital punishment contained in international human rights law are fully respected in proceedings relating to capital offences. As Article 14(5) of the ICCPR provides, "Everyone convicted of a crime shall have the right to his conviction and sentence being reviewed by a higher tribunal according to law." Since the Head of the Judiciary has ordered a review of Mr. Haddadi's case, no execution should be carried out before the completion of the review

I would respectfully reiterate my appeal to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to take all necessary steps to avoid executions that would be inconsistent with accepted standards of international human rights law and to take steps to bring its legislation in compliance with Article 37(a) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political, to which it is a party. In particular, I urge your Government to expeditiously lift or commute the death sentences imposed against Amir Khaleghi and Safar Angooti as well as all other persons awaiting executions for offences committed before they reached age 18. All other efforts undertaken by your Government to prevent these executions are insufficient to meet its obligations under international treaties it is a Party to.

As we have explained in previous communications to your Excellency's Government, the imposition of the death sentence on charges of 'mohareb' is highly problematic. We are concerned that this charge, which according to our information in Iran is directed mainly against political dissidents, critics of the Government and persons accused of espionage, might not be sufficiently well defined to satisfy the very strict standards of legality set by Article 6(2) of the Covenant for the imposition and carrying out of the death penalty. In order for the sentence of death to be imposed "in accordance with the law‚" the law in question must be sufficiently precise to clearly allow distinction between conduct punishable with the capital sentence and conduct not so punishable. (See the communications of 31 August 2006 concerning the imposition of the death penalty against Ali Motirijejad and others (reproduced in A/HRC/4/20/Add.1, pages 165f), of 26 July 2007 concerning the imposition of the death penalty against Abdolwahed (Hiwa) Butimar and Adnan Hassanpour (reproduced in A/HRC/8/3/Add.1, pages 210f), and of 18 July 2008 in the cases of Farzad Kamangar, Ali Heydariyan and Farhad Vakil
