TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Ameneh Bahrami is certain that one day she'll meet someone, fall in love and get married. But when her wedding day comes, her husband won't see her eyes, and she won't see her husband. Bahrami is blind, the victim of an acid attack by a spurned suitor.
If she gets her way, her attacker will suffer the same fate. The 31-year-old Iranian is demanding the ancient punishment of "an eye for an eye," and, in accordance with Islamic law, she wants to blind Majid Movahedi, the man who blinded her.

BEFORE AND AFTER

The Perp
Need I say more? Acid in his eyes, not enough. Pour it on his face too.
Seems reasonable to me. But then, I’m a BIG fan of the Old Testament.
Skip the acid and go straight to the bullet. JMO
I was thinking a bit lower than that.
I suggest adminstering it with a slow drip.
He is just practicing his religion. Everyone should quit being such religious bigots.
[/sarc]
Maybe after a year. Let the SOB suffer for a while.
Let some dribble down south as well.
I say find the nearest fire ant mound and strap him down right next to it, I figure it would take about five days for them to eat him right down to the bone.
I disagree. I think this eye for an eye is the way to go. Drags out the punishment and might even make his life not worth living to him - In such case he might self-execute, a fitting conclusion.
She could have asked for much worse, IMO. He's getting off easy.
Thanks for posting the rest of the article.
Notice the activist groups consider this punishment to be a violation of human rights. How dare the state do to him what he did to her?
“Real honor” killings would have her Male relatives hunting down this scum and ripping his eyes out with a pair of rusty pliers.

" She was a 24-year-old electronics student. He was 19. She never noticed him until they shared a class.
He sat next to her one day and brushed up against her. Bahrami says she knew it wasn't an accident.
"I moved away from him," she said, "but he brushed up against me again."
When Bahrami stood up in class and screamed for him to stop,
Movahedi just looked at her in stunned silence.
He wouldn't stay silent for long. Bahrami said that over the next two years,
Movahedi kept harassing her and making threats, even as he asked her to marry him.
"He told me he would kill me. He said, 'You have to say yes.' "
An Eye for an Eye.
This has video of the young lady, after her attack, including views of her face. It's very hard to look at without becoming upset, so "viewer discretion is advised".
Me too....right down the inside front of his pants....
If only it was only her eyes. The acid completely disfigured her face, and damaged her hands. She can't afford medical treatment, much less a regimen of plastic surgeries.
Horrible.
Maybe God will have mercy on Islamic extremists, but I'm not at all sure that I could or would if I was given the opportunity to treat them the way they do their own people.
Oops, looks like the rest got pulled. Must be that CNN articles can't be posted in entirety.
And the o want to play kissy kissy with these people, wong word,.....idiots.
Hey lets make it really intolerable for him. Stick some ham in his mouth, and tape his mouth shut. Then wrap his arms around a pig then tie his hands up.
He won't dare self execute after being defiled by a pig. What would he say to allah?
Acid in the eyes seems a little extreme, pour a pot of boiling drano on his crotch.
“She will get revenge on her attacker in radical Islamist Iran when pigs fly, er, I mean when pigs are eaten, in that country.”
Had they been married you might be right, but they weren’t.
Notice the line about most victims of this type take “blood money” (basicly a payoff) instead of insisting on the penalty. My take on this is that the legal penalty is eye-for-an-eye in Iran UNLESS the victim takes the payoff. The fact that she is refusing the payoff may box the authorities into having to extract the punishment.
She won’t get justice because she’s woman in a culture where men are afraid of women.
The attacker was sentenced, last year, by an Iranian judge who said that he did, indeed, have to be blinded in retaliation.
This sentence has been denounced by the human rights groups, but was well received in Iran, where everyone hates him.
The case has come back before the courts because he has appealed the decision.
