An Iranian child bride who was forced to marry at just 12 years old is facing execution over the death of her abusive husband.
Goli Kouhkan, an undocumented Baluch woman today aged 25, is set to be executed this month, eight independent United Nations experts warned in a statement published Tuesday.
‘Kouhkan’s case exemplifies the systemic gender bias faced by women victims of child marriage and domestic violence within Iran’s criminal justice system,’ the experts said.
