The story of Leila, abused as a child and then sentenced to death at 18 years old
The story of Leila, abused as a child and then sentenced to death at 18 years old. Leila tells her life story for the first time. Her life provides a rare insight into the dark side of Iran, and is a tribute to those fighting for children's rights - and winning. Her plight shows how female children are seen as a commodity by parents on a low income. In this case her prostitution is used to fund the family's drug abuse.
