I guess there is justice over there sometimes.

Acid attacker sentenced to be blinded

A judge has ruled that a Pakistani man found guilty of attacking his 17-year-old fiancee with acid be blinded with acid himself as punishment.

The judge ordered that a doctor perform the punishment publicly at a local sports stadium.

Mohammed Sajid, 19, poured acid on the face of his fiancee Rabia Bibi with the help of his two brothers and two friends, on June 24 in Bahawalpur, a city in the eastern Pakistani province of Punjab.

The woman lost both eyes and her face was burned in the attack that police said followed a minor dispute between the couple.

Judge Afzal Sharif ruled at a court in Bahawalpur that Sajid and his brothers were guilty of the attack and be jailed for seven years, and that Sajid be blinded by putting acid in his eyes, said Rana Riaz, a local police official.

"This is an Islamic way of doing justice," the judge wrote in his verdict.

The two friends accused of helping Sajid in the attack were freed.
