An Eye for An Eye signing ceremony to be held
2 December 2012
Copies of Ameneh Bahrami’s memories published in a volume by Mehdi Sojoudi will be signed in a ceremony arranged on Thursday, November 29, 2012 in the presence of the author and Bahrami.
IBNA: The ceremony will be held in the presence of the book’s author and its narrator Ameneh Bahrami at the bookstore of Ofogh Publishing Institute.
Entitled as An Eye for An Eye, the book entails interviews with Bahrami about the acid attack which left her blind and disfigured for the rest of her life. The book has recently been published by Mehrandish publishing company in Iran.
Ameneh Bahrami (born 1978 in Tehran, Iran) is an Iranian woman blinded in an acid attack. She became the focus of international controversy after demanding that her attacker, Majid Movahedi, be punished by being similarly blinded.
After Bahrami rejected the romantic advances of Movahedi, a fellow student at the University of Tehran, he threw a bucket of acid in her face in October 2004. She subsequently underwent 17 surgeries, some in Spain, but remains badly disfigured and blind in both eyes.
Ameneh forgave and pardoned her attacker, stating that she did so for her country.
