The Criminalization and legal consequences of Apostasy in Islam: Legal commentary on Iranian Criminal Law
with Prof. Hossein Raeesi (Visiting Scholar, SAR Network)
Based on his recent research, combined with over 20 years practicing as a Criminal and Human Rights lawyer in Iran – a Muslim-majority country – Professor Raeesi will explore topics in Islamic judicial systems such as women and children’s rights, honor killing, deserving death, death penalty and sexual crimes, which will be compared and contrasted with similar concepts defined in international human rights treaties.
