Topic Reading-Vol.750-5/1/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Iran execution stopped at the last minute
Which country to do you think have more executions? It seems to depend on the population and crime rate, how many of them are arrested and prosecuted, and how the laws are written, practiced and implemented. Although the actual number hasn’t been disclosed, China tops the list by a big margin. Iran follows at a rate of nearly a hanging a day with its Islamic law known as “eye for an eye.”
But even in Iran, a pardon could be given. Who could give a pardon to a convicted murderer? A judge, priest or the president? Nope. Only the family of the victim.
Here is a story of a very last minute, dramatic pardon given by the mother of the victim.

There are photos of the sensational and emotional scenes.
