Iran: Three prisoners face limb amputation soon
Tuesday, 22 July 2008

NCRI – Three prisoners soon will face the gruesome punishment of their hands cut off by the mullahs' inhuman regime.

A lower court has sentenced the three men identified only as Ali, 39; Safar-Ali, 35 and Rahmant-Allah, 40; in August of 2007.

According to the mullahs' penal code numbers 197, 198, 199, 200, 201 and 667 four fingers of their right hands will be chopped off. However, it is clear in the codes that the palm of victim's hand should remain intact.

Since the victims have not filed for appeal, it is likely that the sentences will be carried out any time soon.

This is not the first time that the mullahs’ criminal judiciary has issued such savage and inhuman verdicts. In the past, many victims have been condemned to eye gouging, stoning to death and limb amputation.
