Iranian man decides to sell his eye for $2000 out of poverty

 

NCRI – Unbearable poverty has led one Iranian man in his thirties in north-east Iran to decide to sell one of his eyes in order to earn enough to be able to feed his children.

While many struggling Iranians each day put up one of their kidneys for sale as a source of income in what has become a dark habitual practice in Iranian society, this shocking case involves a 34-year-old father of three who had already sold a kidney six months ago for the equivalent of $2000 in Tehran.
In a rare admission of the level of poverty and destitution among the Iranian population, the state-run daily Shahrara on Saturday (August 8) published the account of the man, which it only identified as M., who was attempting to sell his eye in the city of Mashhad.
