A man has been sentenced to have his eyes gouged out in Iran after damaging the sight of a man during a street fight.

A horrifying eye for an eye sentence has been handed down to a 27-year-old man, referred to as Hamed. He was sentenced to have his eyes gouged out in Iran after damaging the sight of a man during a street fight.

It is a punishment for unintentionally injuring a man's eye during a brawl in March 2011, when he was just 23-years old.

He was sentenced to eye-gouging in the Iranian regime's fundamentalist court on August 1. Following the sentence, Farideh Karimi, a member of the NCRI and a human rights activist, said:

"It is deeply regretful that European governments are not protesting such cases of barbarity in Iran. These savage acts which constitute torture are enshrined in the Iranian regime’s laws.

"There has been a steep rise in executions in Iran during (President) Hassan Rouhani’s tenure in the past two years. In the past month alone the regime has carried out two hand amputations and issued a sentence for a person’s eyes to be gouged out."

National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) translated the story from Iran's official state-run newspaper.
