According to HRANA, a retaliation penalty of "eye for an eye" will be executed against Mojtaba Yasavoli (Saheli) next Tuesday at the notorious Rajai Shahr prison. Mojtaba lost one of his eyes as a savage punishment on March 3, 2015 for alleged charges of an acid attack. The retributive justice (Qisas), an Islamic punishment, was carried out by Tehran's prosecutor under the verdict of Judge Mohammad Shahriari, the vice prosecutor and Chief of the Criminal Court of Tehran.

Yasavoli, 31, has been reportedly given a chance to pay atonement (blood money) to the victim of acid throwing to stop the retaliation in kind.

He attempted to blind an individual through an acid attack in 2009.

The prisoner is kept in Hall 4 at Ward 2 of Rajai Shahr prison, and will lose his other eye if the penalty is carried out.
