”An Iranian woman who was blinded and badly disfigured by an acid attack by a spurned suitor has expressed strong support for a retributive blinding sentence set to be carried out against her attacker. The court-ordered plan for “retribution in kind” is to place five drops of sulfuric acid in each of Majid Movahedi’s eyes for the 2004 incident, when he poured a bucket of acid on Ameneh Bahrami, ultimately leaving her blind and forcing her to undergo at least 17 operations.
The acid drops were scheduled to be administered at a hospital in the Iranian capital at noon local time on May 14. Bahrami, now 32, has insisted on Movahedi’s blinding despite being urged by the court to accept financial compensation from the attacker’s family instead. Since the judgment was handed down in 2008, Iranian and international rights activists have expressed horror at the prospect of its implementation…………”

Truly a gruesome case. Carrying the concept of justice to absurd levels. Talmudic, Biblical, or Quranic, in its gruesomeness of “justice”. Even in places like Texas they wouldn’t go that far: sometimes they come close but not that far.
