This question was closed on option B) 'No' on 17 October, 2016. Though there has been movement towards restricting capital punishment (especially for nonviolent drug offenses), Iran's Guardian Council has not yet held a vote. (LA Times) International pressure to end the death penalty for juvenile offenders has increased, and the Majles, Iran's parliament, is considering legislation which would remove mandatory death sentences for drug related offenses (NY Times, UN). The Guardian Council must approve legislation passed by the Majles. For more information on the Guardian Council's role in the legislative process see: BBC. Legislation eliminating the death penalty for certain classes of offenders (e.g. juveniles, women) or certain offenses (e.g. drug related crimes) would count, as would legislation designed to reduce the use of the death penalty (e.g. removing mandatory sentencing or giving judges more discretion to use alternative punishments).
