A Saudi judge has asked several hospitals if they are willing to damage a man's spinal cord as punishment for a cleaver attack that left a 22-year-old paralysed. Skip related content

The victim, Abdul-Aziz al Mutairi, became paralysed and subsequently lost a foot after a fight more than two years ago.

An unnamed man was sentenced to 14 months in prison for the assault, but released after serving only half that time.

The shortened jail time has reportedly enraged Mr Mutairi's family.

His 27-year-old brother Khaled said they want an equivalent punishment for the attacker and have appealed to a judge in northwestern Tabuk province.

"We are asking for our legal right under Islamic law," the brother said.

"There is no better word than God's word - an eye for an eye."

The judge has since asked several hospitals if medical paralysis was possible and would they perform the operation.

Local newspapers reported a facility in the capital Riyadh had declined, saying it could not inflict such harm.

Saudi Arabia enforces strict Islamic law and occasionally hands out punishments based on the ancient legal code.

Amnesty International has expressed concerns over the reports and said it was contacting Saudi authorities for details.

"We are very concerned and we will appeal to the authorities not to carry out such a punishment," said Lamri Chirouf, the group's researcher on Saudi Arabia.

He added this was the first time Amnesty had heard of a punishment involving the damaging of a spinal cord.

"It's hard to follow details of the Saudi justice system. People are sentenced in closed trials with no access to the public and no lawyers."

I read the news this morning, and I think it is just sickening. The idea of an-eye-for-an-eye is clearly a flawed logic in this approach. Gosh. Once again, the religion of peace, that is purported to be perfect has been shown to have flaws. Jesus wept (Muhammed laughs).

This seems to be a problem peculiar to Saudi

You really are a joke.

Here is what Muslims like your type do. Once Islam is the spot light over some backward behaviour, people like you are quick to drag other religion into it.

Can you no debate without doing this?

For the record, I am not a Christian and do not condone any of those behaviour.

I am not a Christian, it is your problem if you do not believe me, not mine.

I do however have plenty respect for traditional religion. Mind you, I said respect.

Where did I indicate that I do not believe that you are not a christian what you are saying? beats me, as you first post on the topic showed you brought religion into the discussion only to turn around and say I brought religion in response to your post now that is so low.

It is called a pre-empt strike and covering all ground so as to give you little or no room for manoeuvre. As it stand, prior to when I made my original post, you posted in two or three threads that you did nothing but defended Islam and attack anyone who says anything remotely against your view.

Anyway, the fact remains, the only reason this type of judgement is being sort is nothing but as a result of Sharia law as influenced by Islam.  No?

I do not join Issues with red eyed Hypocrits.
