Another convict on the death row

Mehdi who killed his wife was condemned to Qisas (loosely translated as eye for an eye) by hanging after the judges’ consultation based on his remarks. After the convict protested the decree it was sent to the country’s Supreme Court and was endorsed by the judges of the court’s branch 13.
According to this report if Mehdi fails to acquire the consent of the victim’s parents or of her next of kin, he will be soon executed. (Khorasan daily 25 July 2013)
