There is something of a triumphalist tone in Toronto Star public editor Kathy English's column today that anonymous web comments will no longer be printed on the Star's letters page.

Human rights campaigners have welcomed an announcement by Iran that appears to end the execution of juveniles.

Iran is believed to be the country that executes the largest number of juvenile offenders - defined as those aged under 18 - in the world.

At least six youths have been executed in Iran this year alone.
