"Iran to blind criminal with acid in 'eye for an eye' justice Retribution granted to woman who had acid thrown in her face by man she refused to marry In a literal application of the sharia law of an eye for an eye, Iran is ready for the first time to blind a man with acid, after he was found guilty of doing the same to a woman who refused to marry him. Majid Movahedi, 30, is scheduled to be rendered unconscious in Tehran's judiciary hospital at noon on Saturday while Ameneh Bahrami, his victim, drops acid in both his eyes, her lawyer said. Bahrami who had asked for an eye for an eye retribution in the court, was disfigured and blinded by Movahedi in 2004 when he threw a jar of acid in her face while she was returning home from work. "He was holding a red container in his hand. He looked into my eyes for a second and threw the contents of the red container into my face," she told the court in 2008. According to Iranian media, Bahrami's lawyer, Ali Sarafi, has said: "A very good sentence has been given and an appropriate method has been adopted so that the convict will be blinded by few drops of acids in eyes after he is rendered unconscious." In a highly publicised dossier in November 2008, a criminal court in Tehran ordered qisas (retribution) on Movahedi after he admitted throwing acid at Bahrami, and entitled her to blind him with acid. He was also required to pay compensation to the victim. Bahrami refused to accept the "blood money" and told the court: "Inflict the same life on him that he inflicted on me." Iranian officials have endorsed the the sentence in the hope of halting an increase in the rate of acid attacks. But human rights activists have warned against an "inhumane" sentence. The British Foreign Office urged Iran to halt the sentence. "The attack on Ameneh Bahrami in 2004 was a horrific crime," a spokesman said. "However, we are deeply concerned by reports that Majid Movahedi's sentence of being blinded by having acid dripped into his eyes may be carried out. "The FCO calls on the Iranian authorities to commute this inhumane punishment to an appropriate sentence in line with Iran's international obligations and to cease the practice of corporal punishment for crimes." Iranian media have reported that Movahedi will be blinded in both eyes but Bahrami, in an interview in 2009, said that the man would be blinded only in one eye because "each man is worth two women" under Iranian law. "The person who did this deserves to go through the same suffering. Only this way will he understand my pain … my intention is to ask for the application of the law not just for revenge but also so that no other woman will have to go through this. It is to set an example," Bahrami was quoted by the Spanish newspaper ABC as saying. Bahrami, who has an electronics degree and worked in a medical engineering company before the attack, moved to Spain with the help of the Iranian government where she has undergone a series of unsuccessful operations. She briefly recovered half vision in her right eye in 2007 but an infection blinded her again. Bahrami has recently published a book in Germany, Eye for an Eye, based on her personal life and her suffering since she was blinded. In recent months, human rights organisations have expressed alarm over the unprecedented increase of capital punishment in Iran, which last year executed more people than any other country apart from China.

Sounds good to me.

5/14/2011 10:10:58 AM

Ibt whole worlds blind.

5/14/2011 10:11:25 AM

Well, at least Iran got something right.

5/14/2011 10:13:48 AM

See, Iran is not all bad.

5/14/2011 10:14:15 AM

I have no real issue with this. It's a harsh but just punishment which may also act as a deterrent.

On another note... where does one get a jar of acid?

5/14/2011 10:16:00 AM

The acid store.

5/14/2011 10:18:05 AM

I get my acid on paper

"One jar of acid, please."

I just picture it like the scene in animal house where Flounder goes and asks, "Ten thousand marbles, please."

Just two?

Its too bad a court in the US can not sentence that guy that ran over his daughter in an "honor killing" with a Jeep Cherokee to the same fate.

5/14/2011 10:02:08 PM

Well, at least Iran got something right.

5/14/2011 10:15:48 PM

I always thought it was funny just how readily available acid is out in that part of the world.

5/14/2011 10:25:32 PM

Dude, acid is readily available here and everywhere else.

5/14/2011 10:26:21 PM

Whattadumbass!

5/14/2011 10:27:57 PM

how did acid throwing become a common thing though, wtf

5/14/2011 10:53:56 PM

It's simple and guarantees that no other man will want her and guarantees she won't enjoy life anymore.

5/14/2011 10:57:59 PM

perfect

5/14/2011 10:58:22 PM

I bet they are staging this just to make her feel better. (He squeals as blind woman pours acid onto a dead body)

5/14/2011 11:31:05 PM

sounds good to me, except i think they should toss it at him while he's conscious & pry both eyes open to make sure it gets in

5/15/2011 9:27:32 AM

note to the bitches of the world, this is what you get for not putting out

5/15/2011 9:33:04 AM

Sounds good to me. Truly just, in the true sense of the word.

And he will get off easy: no disfigurement, no pain (he will be under anesthesia). So, it is actually not fully just, it is still very good.

*******************************************************************

FUCK
FUCK
FUCK

She was on her way to administer the punishment yesterday and the court told her the punishment had been stalled indefinitely.

Fucking "human rights" activists and bullshit coming from the great US/Europe.

We all know what those bleeding hearts in the US/Europe would do to an animal like him: put him in jail for 5 years

Fuck the noise and blind him already, Iran.

Got to be shitting me. The article even states that they're hoping to curb these attacks. So, one guy getting (deservedly) blinded so that many more women may not is inhumane. Just wow, this makes me angry. They're doing it humanely too.

5/15/2011 9:54:11 AM

US/Europe are full of bleeding heart idiots. Eye for an eye > prison any day.

5/15/2011 10:42:38 AM

Hammurabi is trolling everyone again.

5/15/2011 11:24:25 AM

was the woman unconscious when he blinded her? if they want it to be literal, he shouldn't get any pain relief

5/15/2011 11:27:35 AM

I can't believe some people are saying this is inhumane. Sounds to me like he is getting exactly what he deserved.

5/15/2011 11:32:58 AM

Yes, i know how readily avaiable acid is. I took 4 semesters of chemistry at state.

Quote :

"TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An Iranian woman blinded and disfigured by a man who threw acid into her face stood above her attacker Sunday in a hospital operating room as a doctor was about to put several drops of acid in one of his eyes in court-ordered retribution. The man waited on his knees and wept. "What do you want to do now?" the doctor asked the 34-year-old woman, whose own face was severely disfigured in the 2004 attack. "I forgave him, I forgave him," she responded, asking the doctor to spare him at the last minute in a dramatic scene broadcast on Iran's state television. Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi said Movahedi would remain in jail until a court decides on an alternative punishment, according to Iran's ISNA news agency. He said her attacker will have to pay financial compensation as Bahrami has requested. In the past, Bahrami has asked for up to $200,000 in compensation from the assailant."
