| Public flogging in Iran |
NCRI - The highest court in clerical regime ruling Iran has approved the sentence of a young man to have his eyes gouged and his right ear and nose cutoff, state-run daily Shraq reported.
The man identified by his first name Jamshid was convicted last october of deliberately pouring acid on the face of a girl named Shirin which caused her to lose eyesight and right ear.
The Iranian regime's judiciary officials have publicly defended the cutting off of hands and feet, the removal of a “defendant’s” eye, and even stoning as very real part of their judicial law.
In the many years of never-ending and fruitless series of negotiations with the Iranian regime on the nuclear issue, the West has closed its eyes on violation of human rights in Iran and the escalating executions and savage punishments such as cutting off the hands and feet, gouging eyes, cutting off nose and ear.
The silence and inaction in face of growing oppression since Hassan Rouhani took office, regardless of any excuse, has been encouraging the regime to continue with its anti-human atrocities and punishments.
On February 19, 2014, the state-run Mehr news agency affiliated with the regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), stated that a prisoner has been condemned to the barbaric punishment of “cutting off one hand and one foot”.

Iran: Man paraded in street to show 'police and judiciary toughness'
The Iranian regime's State Security Forces (Police) paraded a man in streets of a town in Tehran province to demonstrate 'police and judiciary toughness' in public.
The commander of police told a state-run news agency: 'After hard work by the state security forces and intelligence measures taken, an evil person was arrested and ... paraded in the streets of town of Pishva as punishment, and to demonstrate the toughness of police and the judiciary."
Colonel Adinehvand said the evil person had disrupted the public order in the town.
"The Public Security Plan is always on the police agenda", he told state-run Mehr news agency. Based on the plan, every year hundreds of thousands of people are arrested many for wearing 'improper dress.'
The Iranian regime's State Security Forces (police) regularly parades in street those arrested on the charges of being a 'thug' or 'those disrupting the public order'.
Such degrading punishments are systematically used in order to embarrass and humiliate the youth in their neighborhood.
Last April, three young men were paraded in women's clothing through the Iranian city of Mehran after being charged with robbery and drug dealing.
In prevent public protest, the Iranian regime has been using all means to intimidate the public. The measures include surge in execution particularly in public.
