Man who damaged another's eye during fight will have his own removed

In a classic case of an eye for an eye, a man in Iran who punctured another man's eye during a street fight will also have one of his eyes gouged as punishment for his crime, reports Asian Herald.

The 27-year-old man identified as Hammed,  was said have been in a fight with the 23-year-old victim in March, 2011, and during the brawl, he damaged the younger man's eye.

On August 1, 2015, Hamned was sentenced to 'eye-gouging' by an Iran Fundamentalist Court of Justice.
