Five men in Iran could have their fingers amputated as a punishment for stealing under the country’s brutal Islamic penal code.
Behnam Sina and four others were found guilty of breaking into 22 homes across Tehran, the capital city.
The men are being held at Branch Ten of the Criminal Court of Tehran and have contested the charges, admitting to only a few of the burglaries.
But under Iran’s Islamic Penal Code, amputation of limbs is considered a suitable punishment for theft.
Of the 22 households burgled, eight were present during the court hearing.
Six of the households demanded the return of their stolen property and called for the amputation of the thieves’ fingers if the property could not be returned.
At least one other victim might seek amputation as punishment in place of the return of their stolen money and gold.
The final decision on sentencing has yet to be made by the Tehran court….
