The murder of a three-year-old child by his mother's fiancé has once again brought the issue of child abuse to the forefront of media in Iran. The prosecutor of Gilan has announced that Ahura died due to physical abuse and a head injury, with burn marks from cigarettes found on his body. This news comes at a time when in October, the murderer of 7-year-old Atena Aslani from Pars Abad was hanged, and the execution of the murderer of 6-year-old Setayesh Ghorishi is scheduled to take place on Thursday, October 27. Radio Farda, in an interview with Mehrdad Darvishpour, a sociologist residing in Sweden, initially asked whether, in light of the lack of reliable statistics in Iran, the rate of crimes against children has increased or if the news coverage has simply become more widespread.
