25:02Now PlayingIran’s escalating use of amputations as punishment for theft under Islamic law has drawn fierce international condemnation, with human rights advocates labeling the practice as “inhumane, cruel, and degrading.” Despite global pressure, the Iranian regime has reportedly carried out at least 129 amputations since 2000, and the actual numbers are believed to be higher due to state efforts to suppress publicity. Defending the practice, Iran’s judiciary head, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, stated, “If theft is proven under the conditions set by Islam, the thief’s fingers must be amputated… This is a ruling from God.” Critics argue these punishments violate Iran’s commitments under international human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which prohibits inhumane or degrading treatment. Mahmood Amiry Moghadam of Iran Human Rights called for global accountability, emphasizing that such actions “constitute a serious violation of the conventions that the Islamic Republic of Iran has signed and pledged to uphold.”
