Finger-chopper: justice is a horror movie in Iran

It is really not that straight-forward … who knows, perhaps Iranian justice reveals a certain charm for the Argentianians in rolling out to the public its last weapon against criminality: a machine that chops the fingers of thieves, whose pictures were published by the ISNA press agency. They beautifully document last week’s amputations, carried out in public (4 images were on France 24) to a man sentenced for theft and adultery in the city of Shiraz, who, according to the Chief Prosecutor of Shiraz, "does not show any signs of suffering". Maybe he even liked it.Do you think it’s sickening? Nevertheless there must be people who feel charmed by this sort of efficiency, like allegedly Argentinean President Cristina Fernandez, who established a joint legal commission, set up through a memorandum during a meeting between the Argentinean and Iranian Ministers of Foreign Affairs, in order to issue a "truly just" verdict on the 1994 massacre, which claimed the lives of 85 people at the Jewish Center in Buenos Aires.
Such commission will reopen an already classified trial. The Court had then ruled that the terrorists were 5 Iranian nationals and a Lebanese affiliated with Hezbollah.
Now the entire case will be resumed by a “commission for the truth” (no other name could sound gloomier) that will be made up by 5 judges appointed by Argentina and Iran, who will examine the documentation submitted by both countries. Two years ago Argentina was already rumored to be negotiating an obliteration of the trial’s results in exchange for convenient relations with the Ayatollahs. Now a conclusion seems to have emerged. It must be thanks to the new finger-chopping device which instills so much trust into the Iranian justice.
