Four fingers of an Iranian prisoner who was sentenced to amputation for robbery were cut off in Tehran’s Evin Prison with a guillotine-like device that the prison has recently acquired. 

A former political prisoner and civil rights activist, Arash Sadeghi, said in a tweet on Thursday that the guillotine machine arrived at the prison about a month ago and was installed at the infirmary to carry out such sentences. 

According to Sadeghi, the man whose fingers were cut off on Tuesday had been transferred from the Kermanshah prison to carry out the sentence. There are others that will suffer the same in the next days.
