I know this pictures are not Turkey, i was just wondering about Turkey nowadays...my cousin was born there since my uncle was stationed there for years and had came back with many stories and one was of a boy who was also caught stealing and had his fingers removed.....

As I say, I really don't know what is happening in the east, particularly the Kurdish areas.

Where about was your uncle stationed – I would imagine that most of the front line forces would have been in the East – either facing the caucuses (if in the days of the cold war), or facing Iraq or Iran if more recently?

This is one of those ' I hold my hands up high and look up to the stars moments '

I just echo everybody else's sentiments here.

Unbelievable (in my culture and philosophy) that this behaviour is sanctioned. Impossible for me to understand the nature of some peoples ways !!

it's appalling, degrading to humanity and eventually self deprecating with no benefit of any kind.

it's excruciating to watch and one can not imagine the trauma to the boy.

disgusting !! bereft of any redeeming qualities whatsoever...in my opinion.

Men are the same as women, just inside out !

I agree with you Neil....exactly

even if its a magical stunt,the act has uneccessary tramped on the childs right to live without subjection to harsh condition. If the act was the childs result for stealen then one can easily conclude that such communities should indicted and charged accordingly because children at that still need guidance.

lets keep trying the untried since the birth of science innovations have been like  toy but their impacts have rocked the world

well. This said when I was 6 I stole some fire lighters are bonfire because I was curious on how the stayed alight. A small childs interest in science if a little misplaced. I never got caught but if I had in iran this would have happened to me. Shocking shocking shocking. Is all I can say.

if u had practiced in such community i doubt if wouldnt donated ur hand or ur leg.
