IN current affairs documentary strand Unreported World, Krishnan Guru- Murthy travels to Yemen where he hears the cases of young men who have been sentenced to death and are awaiting execution for crimes they are accused of committing while under the age of 18.
While the authorities are convinced of their guilt, unfortunately there is always room for uncertainty following convictions, and he meets one man, lawyer Hafedh Ibrahim, who was handed the death penalty at the age of 16 in what was later found to be a miscarriage of justice.
Following his release, Ibrahim has embarked upon a crusade to save other individuals who he believes should never have been given the sentence – and here, cameras capture his work.
