At first people misinterpreted the pictures at this site as a punishment on the little boy for stealing a loaf of bread. Then when they talked to the news people and photographer in Iran, they found that it was actually staged so people could pay to watch the car run over the boy's arm and the boy gets paid in bread by the guy with the mike. Someone from Iran posted that if it was a real punishment, they won't have used the blanket under his arm. Someone else said:
If you look at the pictures the boys hand never moves from a fist. If his bones and and tendons were in fact crushed he would lose the ability to retain a fist. also the rolled up blanket and his arm would not lift the vehicle as seen in pictures 5 and 6.
