A Christian man in Iran was sentenced
to have his lips burnt with a cigarette
for eating during the day in the Muslim
holy month of Ramadan.
The shocking punishment carried out in
public in the city of Kermanshah after
he received 70 lashes alongside five
other Muslim men for not fasting
during Ramadan.The punishment was
confirmed by the city's deputy governor
Ali Ashraf Karami.The National Council
of Resistance of Iran, denounced the
treatment as 'savage' and called on
western countries to take action.
"The silence of the world
community, especially of western
countries, vis-à-vis these medieval
punishments under the excuse of
having nuclear talks with Iran has
intensified the brutal and
systematic violation of human
rights in Iran."
