Woman blinded by acid wants same fate for attacker

[agzg]

At any rate this is pretty interesting news coming from Iran. What makes human rights people think they're actually going to make a difference in Iran's court proceedings?

I read about this story months ago...it's been going on for a while, so I'm surprised people are just hearing about this. Acid attacks and honor killings are terrible, and though I don't generally think an "eye for an eye" policy is great, I do wonder if in this case it would act as a deterrant to the many men who think it's OK to do these things to the "inferior" women in their society.
