Eye for eye in Saudi Arabia: judge asks hospital to paralyse man's spinal cord! What???

A Saudi judge has asked several hospitals whether they could deliberately damage a man's spinal cord as punishment after he was convicted of attacking another man with a cleaver and paralysing him.

The Saudi Okaz newspaper reported that a leading hospital in Riyadh told the judge that it could not do the operation.

Two of the hospitals involved and the court in north-western Tabuk province were closed for the Saudi weekend and could not be reached for comment. More...
