Middle Eastern nations often have harsh punishments under Sharia law
for crimes committed, and this was demonstrated on Tuesday when the
brutal Islamist government in Iran carried out punishment on a man after
he threw acid in someone’s face.
The prisoner, only identified as Hamid, threw acid into the face of
another man in August 2009 after being hired by the victim’s wife, and
he was recently sentenced for his crimes, a sentence which was carried
out on March 3.
The form of punishment carried out on Hamid is called qesas, or
“retribution in kind,” and as a result, he was forcibly blinded in his
left eye. Hamid was reportedly sedated at the Rajai Shahr Prison in
Karaj, then doctors proceeded to gouge his eye out, according to
MailOnline. Hamid also had an ear cut off after he attacked and horribly disfigured Davoud Roushanaei.
Hamid is scheduled to have the same done to his left eye, but it has
been postponed. In addition to losing both of his eyes and an ear, the
man will also have to pay “diyah” (blood money) and serve a 10 year
prison sentence.
