جرم آدم ربايي (مخفي كردن ديگري )

The Crimes of Kidnapping and Concealment

The crimes of kidnapping and concealment constitute two examples of crimes against persons which in addition to depriving freedom and inflicting physical harm on the victim, violate the victimʹs personality. One article of Islamic Penal Law deals specifically with the crimes while several articles have a general relation thereto, and ample regulations can be found in Iranian Criminal Law arsenal which bear on the crime. But the crime has drawn little attention in legal literature. So, the paper attempts to examine general and specific elements of the two crimes, pointing to the present state of Laws and regulations in order to determine the abrogating and the abrogated or general and special among them. This takes a large section of the paper, since there exist many ambiguities in the field which require critical examination. Also dealt with are issues such as jurisprudential viewpoints, the relationship of the crimes with similar crimes like arbitrary detention, factors aggravating penalty, attempt to commit the crimes and suspension of sentence.
