Ameneh Bahrami was once an independent Iranian woman living in Tehran. In November 2004, her life changed forever when a rejected suitor threw acid into her face, scarring her and blinding her in both eyes. For four years Ameneh fought hard for the right to have her attacker tried under Islamic law which allows for victims' retribution. A rare look at contemporary life and law in Iran.

  • As much as I hate to say it, Sharia law looks pretty righteous in this case.

  • "An eye for an eye makes the world blind" <---guess who said this quote.

  • دستگاه تناسلی این شخص باید به حکم قانون کاملا قطع شود. این عادلانه‌ترین حکمیست که نه تنها میتواند اصلاحیه یی بر قانون حقوق بشر بوده و جامعه را به سمت عدالت واقعی و توازن سوق دهد بلکه مرهمی بسیار کوچک بر دل آمنه عزیز.

    عشق همواره سازندگی و آرامش به همراه دارد. بنابر این این شخص عاشق نبوده بلکه یک هوس ران جانی و دقیقا آگاه به عمل خود بوده‌ست

    این پرونده مجددا باید به گردش در بیاید

  • I feel saddened that yet again the west will meddle in Muslim countries and put pressure in order to follow their stupid ways of setting the criminal free.

  • islamic law is true justice and punishment not like the pathetic western laws which gives human rights to the criminal and totally disregards the victim and their families.

  • wow...

  • Now thats what I call justice.

  • Pesare az ghiafash maaloome ke aghab oftadeh ast. Baiad kooresh konand.
