  • Iran: Top Court Orders Man's Eyes to be Gouged Out and Ears Chopped for Pouring Acid

    The highest court in Iran has ordered a man's eyes to be gouged out and his ears and nose to be chopped off for pouring acid on a girl.

    The convict, identified only by his first name Jamshid, was found guilty of throwing acid on a girl named Shirin in October last year.
    The victim lost her eyes and one of her ears in the incident, according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), Iran's so-called parliament in exile which is based in France.
    The Islamic Republic of Iran has publicly defended such harsh punishments, often prompting severe condemnation from rights groups.
    According to a judicial law, chiefly based on the principles of Islam, in Iran chopping off condemned convicts' limbs and removing their eyes is sanctioned and are reportedly widely practised.
    I'm having a hard time being outraged.
    Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live...

    Literally an eye for an eye. Can't say I'm going to be too terribly outraged, either.
    It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
    In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
    Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
    Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy now

      I prefer public lashing.
      The year's at the spring
      And day's at the morn;
      Morning's at seven;
      The hill-side's dew-pearled;
      The lark's on the wing;
      The snail's on the thorn:
      God's in his heaven—
      All's right with the world!
