Iranian newspapers say a court has sentenced a man who blinded a woman with acid also to be blinded with acid under the country’s Islamic law, reported Associated Press on November 28, 2008.
Thursday’s reports in several newspapers, including the Kargozaran, say 27-year-old Majid confessed to attacking Ameneh Bahrami in 2004 to dissuade anyone from marrying the woman he loved.
Wednesday’s ruling was issued based on the Islamic law system of ’qisas,’ or eye for an eye retribution.
