    Court orders Iranian man blinded

    A court in Iran has ruled that a man who blinded a woman with acid after she spurned his marriage proposals will also be blinded with acid.

    The ruling was reported in Iranian newspapers on Thursday.

    The punishment is legal under the Islamic Sharia code of qias or equivalence, which allows retribution for violent crimes.

    The court also ordered the attacker, 27-year-old Majid Movahedi, to pay compensation to the victim.

    The acid attack took place in 2004. The victim, Ameneh Bahrami, went to Spain for surgery to reconstruct her face but efforts to restore her sight failed.

    The ruling was a response to her plea to the court in the Iranian capital Tehran for retribution.

    "Ever since I was subject to acid being thrown on my face, I have a constant feeling of being in danger," she told the court.

    Ms Bahrami also said that Movahedi had also threatened to kill her.

                      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.

                          What can you expect from a islamist backward government that hasn't delivered anything it promised over the past 30 years?
