Nigerian man’s hand amputated for theft in KSA

Saudi Gazette - Nigerian man’s hand amputated for theft:

RIYADH — The right hand of Abdulsamad Ismail Abdullah Hawsawe, a Nigerian national, was amputated here Friday after he was found guilty of the theft of gold, a pistol and a mobile phone and taking part in the theft of a car.

The sentence was carried out as per Shariah law, a Ministry of Interior statement said. The ruling, passed and endorsed by the Criminal Court, Court of Cassation and Supreme Court, was forwarded to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques who endorsed it according to Islamic Shariah law, the statement said.

Hmmmm, if they followed the same law here there would be plenty of one-handed people in Kuwait. Just sayin'
