Publish Date: Sunday,4 July, 2010, at 12:35 PM Doha Time
Iranian authorities have cut off the hand of a convicted thief after a court
ruling in the western city of Malayer, the hardline Kayhan newspaper reported
yesterday. "Following a court ruling, a thief's hand was amputated in Malayer,"
the report said, referring to the city located in Hamedan province. It did not
specify if the verdict was carried out in public or in prison, or if a doctor
was present during the amputation.
Kayhan said the thief had previously been caught and sentenced several times,
before the judge ruled for amputation.
