Acid Blinding Sentence in Iran

[kahljorn]

i dont know what to think

does he get jail time too, or just blinding?

god damn she looks fucked up. i think he should have acid dumped on his face, personally. It's not the same to have a doctor oversee it and just be blinded... actually first they should disfigure him, let him see his new face, then blind his ass and leave him in the dessert lol. IM SO MEAN

The human rights group Amnesty International had called for the sentence to be cancelled. "Regardless of how horrific the crime suffered by Ameneh Bahrami, being blinded with acid is a cruel and inhuman[e] punishment amounting to torture," a spokesman said.

does iran have laws against cruel and inhumane punishment?

When it comes to governments legally recognizing cruel and unusual punishments I'm only against it because people would definitely misuse that right (this is why I'm against executions in our country). When someone really is guilty though then yeah I don't have a problem with it. This guy deserves to be blinded, not blinding him would be barbaric.

Justice is not about deterrence and it's not about fulfilling sadistic fantasies either, it's about fairness. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot.

Blinding this man is right and correct and to do otherwise would be evil.
