Answer:

yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Children can face death as punishment for their crimes. Girls as young as nine can be sentenced to death, but boys have to be at least 15 years old. There were reports made in 2014 that 14 people were executed in Iran for crimes they allegedly committed when they were under the age of 18.
