Blinded woman gets eye-for-eye justice
An Iranian woman living in Spain who was disfigured and blinded by a man in Iran said Thursday she welcomed a Tehran court ruling that awards her eye-for-eye justice against her assailant."The person who did this deserves to go through the same suffering. Only this way will he understand my pain," Ameneh Bahram said.
In November an Iranian court ruled that the man -- identified only as Majid -- who admitted blinding Bahrami in 2004 by throwing acid in her face because she rejected his marriage request should also be blinded with acid based on the Islamic law system of "eye-for-an-eye" retribution.
Iran's supreme court confirmed the sentence at the beginning of February.
Bahrami, who moved to Barcelona after the attack to get medical treatment, said the court had originally ruled that she was entitled to have the man blinded in only one eye in Iran because "each man is worth two women".
The court then ruled that the man would be blinded in both eyes if in exchange Bahrami agreed to give up the 20,000 euros (25,000 dollars) which she was set to receive from her assailant's family.

Small Bits of News You Didn’t Know you Needed
Prisoner amputates own penis
A Monroe Correctional Complex prisoner with a history of mental illness was rushed to the hospital Thursday after his second attempt to cut off his penis.
The prisoner already had amputated much of his genitals several years ago, prison spokeswoman Cathy Kopoian said.
On Thursday the man apparently used a razor blade to cut off what remained.
Penile amputation is a rare condition and doctors in Seattle deal with only about one case each year, the urologist said.
This kind of self-mutilation typically is caused by psychosis, said Dr. Bruce Gage, the chief of psychiatry for the state Department of Corrections.
"People who cut themselves or hurt themselves are rarely trying to kill themselves," he said.
More often they are trying to bring about some kind of change or find relief from inner pain, Gage said.

Do you know the difference between head and butt?
A midwife has mistaking a baby's bottom for his head.
Gaynor Rostron, 36, failed to realize she was dealing with a difficult breech birth - despite a scan showing the problem - putting the woman and her baby in danger.
Colleagues at Tameside General maternity unit in Manchester had previously reported that she did not carry out proper checks on a baby, allowing his heart rate to plummet before getting medical help. She is nolonger working as a midwife because of her incompetence.
NMC Chairman Catherine Duthie said: "Although breech presentations can be difficult to diagnose, in this case the baby was presenting feet first, so it was obvious that something was unusual. Furthermore, a record of an ultrasound scan was available to Miss Rostron."
