The Death Penalty in Iran w/ Amnesty International

Amnesty International New Zealand recently delivered three petitions with 19,300 signatures to the Iranian Embassy in Wellington. These petitions call for an end to the execution of child offenders, and also highlight human rights abuses against women, and those who defend people on death row. 

Jessica spoke to Amnesty International Community Manager, Margaret Taylor, who is asking for New Zealand to play a part in speaking out against this. She started the interview asking Margaret about the extent of capital punishment in Iran.
