By Daily Mail Reporter Amenah holds a photograph of her face before acid was thrown at it A jealous lover who blinded a woman with acid is also to be blinded with acid under the country's Islamic law. A 27-year-old named only as Majid confessed to attacking Amenah Bahrami in 2004 to dissuade anyone from marrying the woman he loved. Wednesday's ruling was issued based on the Islamic law system of 'qisas,' or eye for an eye retribution. The reports say Ameneh asked the court to sentence Majid, who was only identified by his first name, to be blinded by acid to prevent similar attacks on other women. Majid is allowed to appeal the verdict. Elsewhere, Iran hanged 10 people in a Tehran jail, all of them convicted of murder. The executions are the latest in a series that have drawn criticism from rights groups. It said one of those executed at Tehran's Evin prison was a woman who killed her husband in 2001 and cut him into pieces. 'They were hanged after their sentences were upheld by the Supreme Court,' Fars News Agency said, quoting judiciary sources. Murder, adultery, rape, armed robbery, apostasy and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under Iran's sharia law, practised since the 1979 Islamic revolution. Iran dismisses accusations of abuses, insisting it is implementing Islamic law and accusing Western governments of carrying out rights abuses themselves. Amnesty International said in April that Iran had executed at least 317 people last year, trailing only China, which carried out 470 death sentences.

They only implement the similar code of law which was the first written code of law in Western Civilization, Hammurabi's Code, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. And they have a hood argument for our criticism; with our vindictive form of law and order, whom are we to talk? We throw rocks at this through the walls of our glass house.
