Picked up this wierd story on a national daily. Apparently an Indian immigrant worker in Saudi Arabia stands to loose an eye. And this is not due to some medical condition, this is some law which prevails in the country.
This chap had a small tiff with some local fellow who lost an eye in the tiff. So now he is in Jail and must loose in a quid-pro-quo (sic) justice (sic) system. Now supposedly, a team of some 8 doctors will decide the cause of eyesight loss for the victim and then the victim will hold the absolute power of pardon irrespective of the provocation, the circumstances or for that matter the due process.
