Amnesty International urged Saudi authorities on Friday not to medically paralyse a man in retribution for similar injuries he allegedly caused during a fight.
The London-based group quoted reports that a court in the northwestern town of Tabuk had approached a number of hospitals to ask if they could cut the man?s spinal cord in retribution, as requested by the victim.
"We urge the Saudi Arabian authorities not to carry out such a punishment, which amounts to nothing less than torture. While those guilty of a crime should be held accountable, intentionally paralysing a man in this way would constitute torture, and be a breach of its international human rights obligations," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, acting director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme.
One hospital reportedly said it would be possible to medically administer the injury at the same place on the spinal cord as the damage the man allegedly caused his victim using a cleaver during a fight more than two years ago.

This "one-for-one" is not enough for me when it comes to criminals.
Waiting for Amnesty Internationale to step in and denounce Saudi Arabia’s death penalty for any non-muslim who’d enter the segregated cities of Mecca and Medina.
Human rights mean something, AI doesn’t.
No, would not give the Muzzie barbarians any wiggle room. They are practitioners of a brutal 7th Century death cult that plagues the world to this day. We must rid ourselves completely of these @$$h0!es. Treat them as the plague they are and wipe them out.
What kind of doctor FREAK would surgically make someone an invalid?
This is NO religion, it is garbage.
Its insanity. Their minds and souls have been polluted by their culture and the ravings of a mad man.
I agree. This would be a barbarous, cruel and unusual
punishment. I have no use for Amnesty Int’l’s hypocrisy, but they are right about this one.
What kind of sick Dr. Kevorkian are they going to find to even agree to do the procedure?
AmNazi International rarely goes after Muslims on anything...and I bet they came in kicking and screaming not to defend the Islamic man who is going to get paralyzed by a Saudi Sharia court judge.
AmNazi is usually quiet about the abuses committed by Muslim countries
“What kind of doctor FREAK would surgically make someone an invalid?”
The same kind that would do a partial birth abortion.
