Eight Iranian men convicted of theft are in risk of having their fingers on one hand cut off, an NGO warned, decrying the punishment as "inhuman". Authorities have reportedly informed the men that they will be transferred to a prison with a guillotine machine in the coming days. "We call on the international community to urgently intervene," said Amnesty International.
