In this case, it seems to fit the crime.

Yeah. As much as the guy is probably an arsehole of the highest order, further barbarism isn't really the answer. Although, it's good to see an islamic state sticking up for a woman for a change.

Yeah, all a bit too late as well. But they are at least sending some sort of message that is fairly surprising out of an Islamic state.

It's already uncivilized, but what rEv said is what I was getting at. In many places over there the guy would get a pat on the back, especially if the girl was going to school or walking outside without a male family member. It may represent a small step in the general direction of civilization.

Trouble is, he might be innocent.
What's the chances of a fair trial, in Iran? The lying fuckers will say anything, and the judge will take a small bribe and sentence you to eye-gouging.

Well, tough shit for him, I reckon. Sets a worthwhile precedent. Not sure how he might be innocent in this case.mistermack wrote:Trouble is, he might be innocent.

Well, it could be that he didn't do it. Could be that the actual culprit paid to get out of it, and paid to have another man accused.FBM wrote:Well, tough shit for him, I reckon.

And the woman is doing as she's told.
Could be that, could be a million ways he might be innocent. Or maybe SHE threw acid at his little sister, and this was ''justice''. We'll never know.

Re: Court orders man's eyes be gouged out and ears chopped o
But it's not clear on the reason why he's getting this punishment. Perhaps in this very same place he would be getting a pat on the back, for the same or similar actions under different circumstances. These punishments are "based on the principles of Islam", and apparently they are quite common so obviously (and as we all know anyway) this sort of thing is not an effective deterrent. And other laws also based on the principles of Islam are still further subjugating women. And as MM says, who knows if he's guilty? Even the best courts in the world make mistakes, as in America with the death penalty cases where (too late) it's been discovered they were innocent.FBM wrote:It's already uncivilized, but what rEv said is what I was getting at.

No. There's no way this is a step in the direction of civilization. At best it's a step sideways, a continuation of the horrific effects of a religious state on humanity.

I dread to think how this sentence will be carried out. I'd hope it was done by a medical doctor, but what kind of sick doctor would do something like that? It will probably be done by a screaming mob.

The word "gouged" certainly doesn't make me picture a careful surgery.
