Eye For An Eye: Judge Requests Doctors Damage Criminal's Spine Exactly Like He Did To Victim To Even Score


A Saudi judge has asked several hospitals if they are willing to damage a man's spinal cord as punishment for a cleaver attack that left a 22-year-old paralysed.

The victim, Abdul-Aziz al Mutairi, became paralysed and subsequently lost a foot after a fight more than two years ago.

An unnamed man was sentenced to 14 months in prison for the assault, but released after serving only half that time.

The shortened jail time has reportedly enraged Mr Mutairi's family.

His 27-year-old brother Khaled said they want an equivalent punishment for the attacker and have appealed to a judge in northwestern Tabuk province.

"We are asking for our legal right under Islamic law," the brother said.

"There is no better word than God's word - an eye for an eye."

The judge has since asked several hospitals if medical paralysis was possible and would they perform the operation.

Local newspapers reported a facility in the capital Riyadh had declined, saying it could not inflict such harm.

Saudi Arabia enforces strict Islamic law and occasionally hands out punishments based on the ancient legal code.

Amnesty International has expressed concerns over the reports and said it was contacting Saudi authorities for details.

"We are very concerned and we will appeal to the authorities not to carry out such a punishment," said Lamri Chirouf, the group's researcher on Saudi Arabia.

He added this was the first time Amnesty had heard of a punishment involving the damaging of a spinal cord.

"It's hard to follow details of the Saudi justice system. People are sentenced in closed trials with no access to the public and no lawyers."

Now that's old testament right there, I believe it will deter crime more than locking someone up for like 10 years in these kiddie prisons. After the punishment he will have a hard time chasing down someone else with a cleaver.

First of all the story says this was a fight not a beating. Fighting implies the two were engaging in a physical and primative act. Therefore whatever infliction they each suffer from was agreed to by both parties hence the fight. Now if the alleged victim was beaten were he didn't participate in a fight then eye for an eye would be justified. Plus No judge has the authority to hand out that commandment unless he plans on doing the procedure himself. Or they could do the old school public stoning were the blood/guilt is on everyones hands.
