Justice (?) Iranian style.

[Leekbrookgull]

Anyone else heard/read reports of this style of 'eye of an eye' style justice law in Iran ? Latest news reports say that the use of acid to blind someone in a revenge style sentence have been delayed ?

The odd thing is that despite the severity of the punishment it doesn't seem to deter the criminal.

dunno about that what was the crime rate before they started doing all this. i presume it was after the revolution they started all this hanging people off cranes business.

we had a girl disfigured by an acid attack she now has a telly programme and is a national heroine and the bloke got a reasonably lengthy but not shockingly long sentence and will get out a relatively young man.
