Ameneh Bahrami & Majid Movahedi

Woman blinded in acid attack will blind his attacker

Iran Human Rights: Acid will be dripped into the eyes of an Iranian man sentenced by a court in Tehran to qesas (retribution) on Saturday May 14th. According to reports from the Iranian media Majid Movahedi who was sentenced to retribution by blindness in both eyes after he in 2004 blinded Ameneh Bahrami, the woman who spurned his marriage proposals, will be punished at Dadgostari hospital of Tehran on Saturday. According to these reports Ameneh herself is going to drip acid into Majid’s eyes and there will be specialists present to conduct the punishment if Ameneh denies doing so >>>





Ameneh expresses immense joy over the upcoming retribution:

The Best Penalty for Crimes Against Women

by HHH on

...is to cut man's penis completely off. Do it and men become respectful.

Glad most of you enjoyed the show

by Joe L. on

Well said jasonrobardas. The problem is known to exist in South East Asia as common practice:

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_throwing

Unfortunately lack of education, social awareness, woman's rights, and democratic organizations in South East Asian countries makes these crimes mostly go unpunished. Generally speaking, the "class" of Iranian society (women in general) is far more advanced than those in the region and Asia as a whole, yet the Iranian society still has ways to go.
A more realistic analysis must be based on regional developments and standards. Hopefully the Western standards will become the dominant culture in the coming decades, specially in South East Asian countries and Asia as a whole.

by jasonrobardas on

vidictive , ritulized premeditated crime of the state! Acid throwing which has become prevalent in Moslem countries is itself one of the many symptoms of social pathos in such societies. Male dominated cultures that raise men who think they must have the last word. They see women as subservient .A woman making a choice of her own is threatening .She should obey the man and welcome his approach , no matter what .
The walls built between the two genders and their segregation impedes natural communication .
As a consequence ,mistrust , animosity and frustration with such intensity shows up .The gender on the other side of the wall becomes dehumanized .Acid throwing is just the symptom .

 I have not laughed so much since I heard ahmadinezhad saying he'll send a monkey to outer space on board his nuke powered rocket,  before Mehdi's appearance on earth!

I also firmly believe that you know all about "Acid" and it's usage :)

BTW, when are you going to burn that flag shouting "marg bar (or is it "al moot" in your case) amriiiiika"?? :)

What if the punishment was not harsh

by Joe L. on

for fun: Imagine the news said the man will serve "many" years in prison:

JJ: Another pro man verdict of IRI. Shows you what's up in the country

Yolanda: ah this saddens me so much to see a man goes free for this horrible crime. IRI will go down history books as one of the worse of worse of the worst. Chinese are so much better because they would put a rat on his face tied with a bowl and Mexico would have been great since they are high rank in FIFA

Anahid Hojjati: I think poetry and news for IRI bad is must and will should go. Down with IRI and his supporters

Shifteh Ansari: News just arrived that IRI killed on man by a driver driving fast on freeway. The "accident" is to eliminate all the green supporters. More to come

Dariush Kadivar: <link>, <link>, and unrelated <link>

Yolanda: ah thank you for bringing IRI to justice as they will go down history books for having a lot of accidents on the roads

DK: <link>, <link>, Farah Pahlavi <link>, Sarkozi <link>

Bavafa: DK stop it, these are unrelated

DK: <link> hahaha <link>, lol <link>, and for you <link>

Yolanda: Ah IRI is so bad with everything. Even I head that there was an accident that a person was injured. China and Mexico are ranking higher in FIFA

Mahmoudg: All these would be solved with Israeli strike to bring eye for an eye justice. Kill Iranians

Bavafa: No that would not be good

Shifteh: Thanks everyone for bringing the IRI atrocisites to our attention. Now listen to developing news, in another accident, a man has gone to hospital with a broken leg

Yolanda: ah, this will go down in books as one of the worst. IRI will pay for this as Chinese would never and mexico is higher GDP

Anahid: poetry is another level that IRI will pay for. The man in the hospital needs help

DK: <link>, <link>, <link>, accidents are IRI crimes <link>, <link>, Tom and Jerry <link>, Pink Panther <link>, lol <link>

JJ: When we were in Abadan we had no accidents. IRI has shown how bad it is

Mahmoudg: nothing that a strike can't solve

Bavafa: No that's not the answer

AO: Mullas are backward and we are so forward 

Shifteh: Developing news, a woman has burned her finger cooking pizza

Yolanda: This one will go down the books as the worse IRI crime. 

AO: and of course under IRI women have to cook

DK: Disney princesses <link>, unrelated <link>, hahaha <link>, lol <link>

And so on....and so on... and on ....and on.

dYour comments, which I never read knowing what to expect, are as usual outrageous only revealing your own hangups.  This young and beautiful woman has lost not just her eyes but her enitre future.  This jerk and his family must suffer.  Blining his two eyes is a partial JUSTICE, and not enough punishment.  Shame on his parents who raised him.  Shame on you also for a twisted concept of "human civilization".

Qisas is a travesty and a shame to human civilization

by Shifteh Ansari on

Just as there is no justification to a pre-meditated and heinous crime, there is no justification to retribution in this manner.

The Iranian judicial system is a joke, failing Iranian citizens in so many different ways. To leave justice in the hands of a victim whose life has been altered and damaged for good is a savage and horrifying solution to the problem. Ameneh's remedial plastic surgery should have been funded by the state and she should have been given psychological assistance during the years she has walked the hallways of dadgostari, trying to make her perpetrator blind.

Everything in this picture is wrong, and a reminder of the sad joke ideological rule is over any nation.

On Saturday, the devastated victim of a horrible crime will gauge another person's eyes and on Sunday, we will have one more criminal in our nation.

Human civilization is supposed to go forward and progress. This regression is appalling.

What other Iranians think...

by Ali P. on

این مسئله اسید پاشی چندساله باب شده و باید قصاص سختی
براش در نظر گرفته بشه وگرنه بدتر میشه! جرمی که با برنامه باشه قضیش فرق
میکنه! باید همه یقین پیدا کنن که هر ظلمی بکنن عینا روزی سر خودشون میاد.
باید من احساس کنم وقتی به صورت کسی اسید می پاشم دارم رو صورت خودم می
پاشم. قصاص وحشیانه هست ولی برای جلوگیری از وحشی گری لازمه. در ضمن چند
قطره اسید در حال بیهوشی هیچ وقت در حد بلایی نیست که سر اون دختر بیچاره
آورده. در ضمن خودتون رو جای قربانی بزارید. قصاص حق قربانیه و فطرت آدم
این حق رو تایید می کنه

M، Germany

 

کاملا با قصاص همچين حيوونی مواققم. کاش ميشد که خودم چشماشو در مياوردم.

Kamran، Toronto

 

تا وقتی که تصویر این دختر رو نبینی می گی قصاص وحشیانه
است. اما وقتی عکس دختر رو ببینی احتمالا می گی کمشه و حتا باید اعدامش
کرد. بخشش در صورتی قابل تصوره که عمل انجام شده برگشت پذیر باشه. یعنی بشه
زیبایی اون دختر رو بهش برگردوند. اینکه این دختر چه تصمیمی می گیره
نهایتن مطابق حقوق ایران به خودش مربوطه.
از یه نظر دیگه مساله خشونت توی جوامع خاورمیانه ای نهادینه شده هست . رابطه مرد و زن هم یکی از منشاهای اصلی خشونت هستند.
من فقط امیدوارم که این دختر بتونه سلامتیش رو به دست بیاره...

براي قبايل صحرانشين در 1400 سال پيش قصاص شايد تنها
راه اداره آن جوامع بوده است ولي در قرن بيست و يكم عملي وحشيانه و
غيرانساني است. قوانين كشوري بايد مجازاتها را تعين و اجرا كند. بگفته
گاندي رهبر فقيد هند چشم در برابر چشم دنيا را كور خواهد كرد. علاوه بر اين
عمل قصاص خشونت را در اجتماع عادي خواهد كرد..

ميكرب محارب، رامهرمز

 

 

صد در صد باید حکم قصاص در ایران بعنوان یک موضوع بسیار
جدی مورد بررسی و اجرا گردد تا دیگر ما شاهد دزدی - تجاوز - آدم ربایی و
اسید پاشی نباشیم

بسيار متحجرانه است زيرا انسان خاطی ازنظر روح وروان يا

عواطف کمی عميق عمل کنيم؟

Imagine people like the extremist rabbis in your recommended videos taking charge of a country. That's what we've got in Iran. Your interest in circumcision videos is your private business, but publicly coming across as saying Velayat Faghih is the best thing since human sacrifice is out of synch with where civilization is heading. Hopefully my conjecture about your position is mistaken or at least exaggerated.

Put some acid in Khamenei's eyes...

by Roozbeh_Gilani on

 if you advocate eye for an eye policy.

He as the leader of the islamist regime bears the ultimate responsibility for the abhorrent ideology  which treats women as second class citizens, hence encouraging  a culture where the crazed man feels morally justified in throwing acid into that woman's face. 

Otherwise, speak out loud and clear against this barbaric, shamefull act of medieaval savagery, performed by the islamist state against it's pown citizens.

Penis Sucking For God

by kemalmajor on

Ari, 

You write: "...the acid splashing crime is bound to the attitude that extremist Islamic societies encourage ...."  This Rabbi spends 10 minutes talking about the religious virtues of sucking little boys' penises; Is that bound to religion too?  Any idea which one?

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZy5lbWb9Xg 

And these Rabbis get together in hotels and talk about the permissibility of killing non-Jews ... the people of that faith also are defective, right?

Crimes like his are not wide spread in the rest of the world

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

The basis, root cause for this crime is the sick society people are forced to live in.  The system teaches that the worth of a woman is half that of a man.

And the Shah was considered a despot for wanting to bring Iran away from this perverted, islamic ideology and uphold a secular one.

HELPS END BRUTALITY AGINST WOMEN

by deev on

This is a tough call...

 

I'm not a fan of barbaric punishments however this will help in putting fear into any schmock who considers disfiguring a woman in the future, her life was ruined because of some chump's bruised ego, he deserves to be hung, no mater how barbaric this is justice for her and I'm glad she gets to have it.

by rtayebi1 on

revenge be OK if it would scares,and stops   another 10 acid pashers? yes it is a lose lose situation. I hope her heart has been spared. Would she forgive him at the last minute? lioness?


Ari Siletz

Whatever they do...

by Ari Siletz on

...the acid splashing crime is bound to the attitude that extremist Islamic societies encourage about women. Instituting modern punitive laws in an environment with a pre-modern mindset is a mismatch which may not serve justice. Crime and punishment should play out in the same cultural context. When it comes to the crime against the victim, the state is complicit in creating the conditions for it, but when it comes to the punishment (or deterrence methods) the state can't reasonably tell Ameneh Bahrami that it has suddenly taken a 14 century leap. Pretending to modern values should not be done at the expense of what the victim--in the context of her culture--experiences as justice. Bottom line, I agree with the qesas verdict in this case; the real tree to bark at is the misogyny inherent in extremist Islamic societies.

He should lose his freedom, Life imprisonment

They should imprison the man for Life (never be released from prison) with hard labour, but not blind him. This is what Pakistan is doing.
