True, but unfortunately, pre-meditated sadistic crime didn't.

I have to agree with the sentence, as unpalatable as it is to our "western" tastes. An eye for an eye, is the oldest and fairest solution.

Can't say I blame her. In her shoes I would do the same.

I wish we were a forward thinking country.

Seems more like judicial torture than justice. A barberous act in a barberous country.

The barbarous act was the original acid attack on the woman that has ruined her life. This guy deserves death IMO and should think himself lucky just to be blinded the same as he blinded her.

Excellent !! We should have more this type of justice in the UK, then people would think twice before they ruin other people's lives.

How about stabbing victims for instance being allowed to stab the purpetrator in the same part of the body ?

Eye for an Eye

It's the ultimate case of an eye for an eye - a judge has given an Iranian woman permission to pour acid into a man's eye after the spurned suitor blinded her by doing the same thing...

Full story

Despite understanding the victim's desire for revenge this seems pretty extreme to me... Still, there's no arguing the punishment doesn't fit the crime!
