This "punishment" is part of Islamic law but as I know they've never done it in recent years. These 5 people's crimes were blocking streets and shooting to police (no one died). The names (Rigi) implies they might be AbdulMalek Rigi's family members.
I agree that they might be a terrorist group or funded by US / al-Qaeda but this does not justifies AMPUTATE. Just like execution, this is inhuman and ... I'm shaking with horror.
OMG! I wanted to write about the SNOW. Tehran is in it's coldest days in 45 years (right now it is -4 centigrade, but it's going to reach -11 tomorrow). We had snow last night and.... amputate :(

Amputation is a horrific crime!
to contextualize: amputations are carried out in Sistan & Baluchistan There are many "Rigi"s there and that doesn't necessarily mean a close relation to one family or other. Now, sistan & Baluchistan is the Sunni province of Iran, it was effectively run by drug-lords who may now have joined forces with Iran's foes (American-funded fundamentalists from Pakistan and Afghanistan). Given the volatiliy of situation in Pakistan, I gather Iran has preferred risking the inetrnational infamy over civil unrest and chaos in an extremely charged state. Also keep in mind that Americans have been explicit in wanting to support the secessionists in Baluchistan and Kurdistan. This punishment is designed to set a live example! Again, I do not justify its horrific nature. But between an Iraq-style civil war and a barbaric punishment, Iranian government has opted for the latter. Who to thank? George W Bush and his promise of toppeling Iran's regime!! |
