Progress in Iranian: now the fingers of the thieves are chopped with a special apparatus

In Iran, where public executions and painful physical punishments are extremely common, decided to improve the "work" of the executioners. Now, at least, some of them will stop chopping the limbs sentenced to cold weapons in the old fashioned way, and will use a special device for these purposes. In the city of Shiraz in the south of the country, the other day, right during the next execution, a car was represented for cutting the fingers of the convicts.

According to the Iranian InSA agency, in front of the audience the modern guillotine in the form of a turning saw, four fingers on his right hand were amputated by a man by the sentence of the Sharia court. He was punished for theft and adultery in the past Wednesday.

In the released photographs, the punishment is carried out by three executioners dressed in black. Their faces are also covered with black masks. One of the executioners holds the hand of a bearded criminal in a vice, while the other turns the wheel of the guillotine, writes The Telegraph newspaper.

The eyes of the convict are tied with a dense bandage. You may notice that his face does not express suffering on any of the frames. As journalists suggest, probably a man was pumped up before execution with potent means, so he did not feel pain. The criminal was also sentenced to 99 lashes and three years in prison.

After public amputation, Shiraz Prosecutor Ali Alghasi announced that sentences regarding criminals were becoming more severe. As observers suggest, this warning may be an attempt by the authorities to stop a public protest before the June elections.

As you know, a public death penalty, including stones, and public torture - flogging and amputation, are a common occurrence in Iran. International human rights organizations have repeatedly called on the authorities of the Islamic Republic to end the medieval methods of punishment, but the situation in the country does not change. According to the Iranian media, only at least 16 people have been executed in different areas of the republic in different areas of the republic, seven of them are publicly.
