The judge in northwestern Tabuk province asked hospitals for assistance in paralyzing a man in an operation as punishment for his paralyzing of a man two years ago.
Abdul-Aziz al-Mutairi, 22, was paralyzed and lost a foot after a fight more than two years ago with the defendant. Notably, the defendant already was sentenced to up to 14 months in prison, but was released after seven months in an amnesty. He is now a professor at a university. The family returned to court to demand the right of “an eye for an eye” as guaranteed under Sharia law.
