Two Iranian thieves, convicted of a spree of some 30 robberies, each had four fingers publicly chopped off in the northwestern town of Hamedan, the evening newspaper Kayhan reported. The hardline daily named the two convicts only as Majid and Hamid-Reza, and said the amputations were carried out after their victims refused clemency and the supreme court upheld the sentences.
