Iran court allows woman to blind spurned lover (16 Viewers)

[king Ale]

TEHRAN: An Iranian court has given out 'an eye for an eye' judgement, allowing a 32 year old woman to inject acid to blind the person who had done almost the same act after she turned down his marriage proposal in 2004.

The woman, Ameneh Bahrami, was left blind and disfigured after Majid Movahedi threw sulphuric acid in her eyes at a bus stand after he had begged her in vain to marry him. She later underwent 19 operations following the attack, and the court awarded her £19,000 as compensation besides sending Majid to jail, but Ameneh turned down the compensation offer saying she wanted revenge.

She wanted her attacker to suffer the same anguish that she had undergone for over six years. "His mother phoned my parents. She asked for mercy. She said that Majid would always work for me if he could keep his eyes. But now it's too late," the Daily Mail quoted her.

The punishment was set to be carried out on 14 May 2011, but as per updated news, the punishment is postponed.

Better than in Norway. He would sit in jail for two years and then be out on good behaviour.

They should torture the guy slooowly and kill him later.

In Iran, it's either "eye for an eye" punishment or the guilty serves 2 months to 3 years of prison sentence.

Human Rights Group Calls for Iran to Cancel Sentence by Blinding Man With Acid

A human rights group has called on Iran to cancel the sentence of blinding a man who was convicted of throwing acid in a woman's face, the Daily Telegraph reports.

A court sentenced Majid Mohavedi to have acid dripped into his eyes in retribution for pouring acid in Ameneh Bahrami's face in 2004 after she spurned his offers of marriage. She was left blinded from the attack.

Amnesty International is calling for a halt to the sentence, sayings its too harsh.

"Regardless of how horrific the crime suffered by Ameneh Bahrami, being blinded with acid is a cruel and inhuman punishment amounting to torture," an Amnesty International spokesman told the Daily Telegraph.

Iran has postponed Saturday's blinding sentence of Mohavedi, Reuters reports.

"The punishment of Majid was scheduled to be carried out on Saturday at a hospital but it has been postponed," Iranian news agency Fars quoted an unnamed official, according to Reuters.

Bahrami wants the sentence to be carried out.

"The verdict is completely legal and I would like to carry it out," she told the Telegraph.

She has gone several operations since the attack which left her severely disfigured.

Under Iran's Islamic law, retribution is permitted in cases of bodily harm.

Hi, anyone there, how about you join us in the 21st century? The middle ages are over.

Then surely eye for an eye.

3 years for that act is literally nothing.

I'd rather have him beat up and tortured like Dooz suggested than throw acid at him. But two years in prison for such an act is ridiculous.

I'd rather live in the middle ages and having this guy fucked for life than him out on the same street my family is after two years.

This conversation is tragic. Hoori opened this thread because she's distressed that this kind of crap is going on and you people basically applaud the practice.

In an ideal judicial system, I would be against any kind of retribution. No victim, no matter how terrible they have suffered, must be in a place to decide what punishment should impose on the guilty. This just reproduces violence in the society. But our judicial system is flawed. It's all on Ameneh, the victim, to decide. She's got two options: Asking for retribution or forgiving the man. If she goes for the second option, this man comes back to the society after serving 3 years (maximum) in jail and it is dreadful too.

As I said. If it was my sister I couldn't bear to see him out on the streets after two years.
I am not by any means suggesting this to be normal punishment in the west but Norwegian justice-system is pussy.

So what, she's not going to cry if I say something.

What is that? Those who write the rules are supposed to be sane people, not influenced by circumstances. No punishment could compensate what Ameneh has lost and I really really feel sorry for her but she is certainly not in the right position to decide on the kind of punishment this man should get. What worries me however is that three years of imprisonment is way too little for such crime which is very common in Iran.

 

[Dostoevsky]

There is no need to be torture.

But then jail him for 30 years and not 3 since he literally destroyed her life.

Everyone tells me "just imagine that it was you in Ameneh's place, would you still be against retribution?" and I'd say but I'm not in her place and even if I was, I shouldn't have been allowed to punish the man based on my hurt feelings. This just wouldn't work.

It's not feelings. You wouldn't have a family to begin with.

Live for what?
