An eye for an eye - Iran court allows victim to blind culpri
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.
After 17 operations, Ameneh Bahrami is desperate for revenge and has been given the green light by a Tehran court.
“He will lie in front of me drugged. I will feel my way to his eyes and then drop 20 drops of acid in each eye,” Ameneh (30) explained.
“It has come so far,” she told a BILD reporter in Barcelona, where she now lives. “I will have retribution on April 15.”
The electrical engineer was attacked by Majid Emovahedi (25) because she had constantly turned down his marriage proposals.
His whole family had put pressure on her to wed him, but she was resolute: “No, I will never marry him.”
Majid waited for her as she left work in September 2004 and threw sulphuric acid over her head. She went blind immediately.
Ameneh Bahrami moved to Spain, where she has had 17 operations on her eyes and face.
Her desire for revenge has grown. She will return to Iran, wearing jeans and a t-shirt under her chador.
“My father and siblings won’t be there. They don’t want to see it.
"But my mother and friends will accompany me to make sure I don’t pour the acid on myself when I put it in his eyes.”
Majid Emovahedi will be held down by prison officials and under anaesthetic at the time. He won’t feel anything as Ameneh pours the acid on his face. A doctor will be wearing gloves to hold Majid’s eyes open so she can squeeze the acid in.
“My mother will do it for me if I don’t manage it,” Ameneh added, “but I hope that won’t be necessary. I want to execute the punishment myself, because it is my issue.
"I don’t want my mother to feel guilty. I am sure she would because revenge is a bad thing.”
But she herself unashamedly wants revenge: “He made fun of me in front of the court. Now he is whimpering for mercy, asking me to leave him at least one eye.
"But it is too late for that.”
