Woman who blinded man sentenced to be blinded
A court in southwest Iran condemned a young woman to be blinded after she blinded a man who was harassing her by throwing acid at him, a government newspaper reported Wednesday. Azam, 21, a resident of Behbahan village in Khuzestan province told the court that Abol Ali, 37, would come and "harass" her at night while her husband was away at work, the Iran newspaper reported. "One night, he threatened me with a firearm, and said he would climb over the wall if I did not open the door. I remembered I had some ... acid in the kitchen to unblock sinks. So I opened the window and threw it at his face," Azam was quoted as saying during her trial.Ali, now blind, gave a different account. "This woman is wrong, I wanted only to warn her about something. As I went by her house, she opened the window, called me, and threw something at my face and chest. After that, I remember nothing," he explained. Yup. Attacked him for no reason. Women do that to me all the time, too. That's how I got this scar... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-07-24 |
