In Iran, three men who committed theft were subjected to severe punishment by the court, and their fingers were cut off. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This incident has attracted significant attention both domestically and internationally. According to reports, the defendants are considered individuals who have committed theft as a permanent profession.
They were arrested based on more than 40 personal complaints from various provinces of Iran. In the court case, they were mainly accused of stealing gold jewelry and other valuable items.
The criminals refused to return the stolen items and rejected reconciliation with the victims. This caused them to lose the opportunity for a lighter sentence.
After the appeal and review processes were completed, the Iranian Supreme Court confirmed the first-instance ruling, and the sentence was executed. The form of punishment was severe, with four fingers amputated from the right hand of each convict, except for the thumb.
This punishment was applied in accordance with Iran's existing Sharia laws, which are intended for serious crimes. This incident has sparked various opinions among international human rights organizations and the public.
On one hand, the rule of law and strict measures against crime are supported, while on the other hand, questions arise about how humane the method of punishment is. Currently, harsh measures are being taken in Iran in the fight against crime, and this incident is being evaluated as a sign of strengthening legal discipline in the country.
