Iran Cripples Eight Year Olds Arms For Punishment

Photographs of the brutal punishment of an eight year old thief have been circulating on the internet. They run over his arm with a car.

An eight year old stole bread, and was caught during this “terrible” crime. However, the punishment is even more terrifying. The boy’s arm was run over by a car, whilst full conscious. The boy squeezes his face in a grimace of agony, and the insensitive adults only stand nearby and watch this torture.

After this type of punishment, the boy will never be able to use his arm again.

This type of punishment is prescribed by Sharia law, and is not even slightly merciful for the hunger which forced the boy to steal, or the age of the boy.

We recommend those sensitive to graphic pictures not to look at photos of the torture in the PHOTOGALLERY.
