"A Saudi man convicted of paralyzing a fellow countryman in a cleaver attack is being threatened with having his spinal cord cut in a tit-for-tat punishment.
The ultra-conservative desert Kingdom enforces Islamic law and on rare occasions metes out punishments based on the ancient code of an eye-for-an-eye."
"Mutairi, 22, said the culprit had confessed in court to hitting him with a cleaver during a fight more than two years ago, Saudi media reports.
His attacker has spent several months in jail.
Such eye for eye punishments are rarely carried out in Saudi Arabia, and Saudi reformists are infuriated when such sentences are passed."
"ten years ago, an Egyptian worker had an eye surgically removed in a Saudi hospital as punishment for disfiguring a compatriot in an acid attack six years earlier."
