Brothers Shahab and Mehrdad Teymouri had four fingers amputated in Orumiyeh Central Prison, intensifying fears for five other inmates facing similar sentences. Reports reveal that the guillotine remains in the prison, posing an imminent threat to their lives. The inhumane action has drawn condemnation from human rights organizations urging international intervention to stop these brutal punishments.
In a chilling and brutal incident in Orumiyeh Central Prison, Iran has amputated four fingers of brothers Shahab and Mehrdad Teymouri on October 29. Their treatment was abruptly halted as they were returned to prison shortly after hospitalization. This horrifying act of punishment has fueled fears for the lives of five other prisoners, who are now at risk of facing similar fate. Reports indicate the prosecutor has plans to execute these amputation sentences imminently, deepening the atmosphere of dread within the prison. The guillotine, recently brought into the facility, remains sharp and ready for further dismay.
The Iranian penal system has faced international outrage for its application of corporal punishment, particularly in the case of amputation. In recent years, this approach has garnered significant criticism for being inhumane and excessively punitive. With the recent amputation of the Teymouri brothers, the gravity of the situation escalates as it highlights the ongoing threat to other inmates subjected to cruel and unusual punishments. Human rights organizations are increasingly voicing their concerns and calling for urgent actions from global entities to demand reform.
The gruesome amputation of the Teymouri brothers underscores the severe human rights violations occurring within Iran’s prison system. The fate of five other prisoners hangs in a precarious balance, with impending execution of similar sentences looming. This urgent situation demands a global outcry to halt these barbaric punishments and advocate for the basic rights of prisoners. The actions of Iranian authorities stain the fabric of justice, compelling humanity to rise against tyranny.
