A woman who was blinded when a scorned lover threw acid in her eyes has the chance to get a gruesome revenge today.
A court in Iran has given permission for 32 year-old Ameneh Bahrami to get her own back by pouring acid in the eyes of her attacker, a fellow student at Tehran University.
The court’s OId Testament ruling – an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth – has sparked controversy even in Iran where medieval justice still holds sway. But Ameneh still appears bent on revenge.
