Iranian acid attack victim Ameneh Bahrami explains why she wants her attacker to be blinded...


In 2004, Ameneh Bahrami was an independent and attractive 24-year-old engineering student, already working at a lab in Tehran.

"A lot of boys used to come to my house - even university teachers would come - and ask for my hand in marriage," she told the BBC World Service's Outlook programme.

"I was a very beautiful girl."

She had never met Majeed Movahidi when his mother called her family asking for her hand.

When she refused, Movahidi tracked her down at the university they both attended. They had a heated argument, though Bahrami still didn't know her pursuer's name. More...
