The Iranian woman blinded by acid now seeking to pour acid into the eye of her attacker.
Extraordinary personal stories from around the world.
Today, a remarkable interview with Ameneh Bahrami.
In 2004, she was an independent young woman living in the Iranian capital Tehran.
But her life changed forever when a rejected suitor called Majid Movahedi threw acid into her face, leaving terrible scars and blinding her in both eyes.
Ameneh started a campaign for him to be tried under an Islamic law which allows victims to have a say in the punishment of criminals.
She wanted Movahedi to be sentenced to have acid poured into his eyes - and what's more, she wanted to administer the punishment herself.
She won her case, although after an international outcry, the sentence is yet to be carried out.
