A
14 year old boy died on Thursday, November 11th, after having received
85 lashes; according to the ruling of the Mullah judge of the public
circuit court in the town of Sanandadj he was guilty of breaking his
fast during the month of Ramadan.
The Kurdish site Rojeh´heh Lât reports that the young man´s identity
has not been disclosed. He was scheduled for burial on Saturday,
November 13th (after 3 days at the local morgue), in the cemetery of
Beheshteh Mohammadi in Sanandadj. However due to the public´s
realization of the events surrounding the boy´s circumstances the
cemetery was stormed [in protest] and his burial did not take place.
According to informed sources, supervisors have instructed that the
burial take place in the presence of his closest relatives, surveyed by
security forces.
