" Blinding

In 2003 an Indian citizen working in Saudi Arabia took part in a brawl, wounding a man's eye. Puthan Veettil Abd ul-Latif Noushad was eventually sentenced, in 2005, to have his own right eye gouged out as punishment. It was, according to charity Human Rights Watch, the third eye-gouging sentence handed down within a year. HRW was unable to confirm whether any of the gougings had actually taken place. In Noushad's case, the Indian government made an appeal for clemency. It is not clear if the appeal was successful. The State Department, on its website, still lists eye-gouging as a punishment that can be handed down by courts in Saudia Arabia.

Iran also allows chemical blinding. In 2005 a 27-year-old man named only as Majid had been stalking a woman, Ameneh Bahrami. When she refused his advances he poured a container of sulphuric acid over her. Bahrami was blinded and disfigured. Majid was sentenced to have five drops of hydrochloric acid dripped into each open eye, blinding him"


THIS is good stuff. EYE for an EYE. Literally. If i'm not mistaken in Islam we call this QISAS. And before the judgement is being handed out, the judge will ask the victim if they want the punishment to be carried out, or if they want to forgive, and the defendant will have to pay the victim some sort of compensation each month.

Basically I wouldnt mind this kind of punishment being dished out in this country really. Seems only fair to me those who make others suffer receive the same fate not just limited to blinding.
