Eye for an eye

Thing to be thankful for #2: That you don't live in Iran!

An Iranian court has sentenced a man who blinded a woman with acid also to be blinded with acid, Iranian media is reporting. The nation rules by Islamic law, which implements an eye-for-an eye justice.

The 27-year-old man confessed to attacking Ameneh Bahrami in 2004 to dissuade anyone else from marrying her. Newspapers said that Ameneh asked the court to sentence Majid, only identified by his first name, to be blinded by acid to prevent similar attacks on other women.

Majid may appeal the verdict.
