Convict on Death Row Wins Reprieve

TEHRAN (Reuters) - A convict on death row in a prison in
southeastern Iran won a last minute reprieve when parents of
his victim announced they had forgiven him for the murder, the
official IRNA news agency said on Thursday.

The convict, Mohammad Reza Partiban, had been sentenced to
death for stabbing his young victim Ahmad Arjmand to death in
1998.

But he escaped the executioner's rope when Arjmand's father
pardoned him just before the hanging was to take place.

According to Iran's strict interpretation of Islamic law,
death sentences, based on the law of retribution, can be
commuted if the victim's family pardons the killer.

The murderer still faces a possible court sentence of up to
10 years in prison.
