| 2007-03-01 |
| Iran has publicly severed the fingers of a man convicted of repeated robbery in the western town of Kermanshah, a press report said Wednesday. “A robber’s fingers were cut off on Monday afternoon at Vakilagha junction in Kermanshah in public,” the conservative Qods daily reported, identifying the man as Farman, 46, convicted of 22 robberies. The report did not say how many fingers were severed. |

| #4 He's lucky he didn't get caught in Saudi. They'd have cut of his whole hand. I agree. They must be getting soft in Iran! Al |

| #3 Convicted of 22 robberies and he hasn't been executed? Damn, this guy got off easy with the severed fingers! The Iranian courts are getting soft. You know, although I'm neither a big fan of cruel and unusual punnishment or the Islamic Republic, I think I just found something about Iranian society I respect. |

| #1 Heh heh. I'll bet he doesn't do that again for a while! Might have been better to chop off one finger at each conviction that way he stops after one or two. |
