Iran; Press Release on Performing an Imputation Penalty in Mashahd 

According to news reports the Islamic Republic mutilated the hand of a man called Ali who allegedly had stolen a sheep. This is not the first time that the Islamic regime commits such a crime. The Islamic Republic has a background of such “penalties” that are way more atrocious and barbaric than the alleged “crimes”. The Worker-communist Party of Iran condemns this anti-human act and demands the abolition of all Sharia penal codes (qesas) and the totality of the Islamic juridical system.
