    Isnt that basically an execution by torture? I dont think anyone could survive 74 actual lashes if they do it like other countries with lashings.

      My understanding is that it is not. It is more like a humiliation ritual. They don’t do full force.

        I pointed this out elsewhere, but what the heck nobody minds a rerun: Nah, it’s exactly the same.

          Couldn’t find a graphic depiction of american slavery, huh? But no problem finding one for Iran? Interesting.

            Not particularly, you couldn’t find a relevant image either (and photography was not common, even after the introduction of glass-plate photography, 160 years ago. Everyone in the modern era carries a camera in their pocket, making images like the above from modern-day Iran much easier to produce.)
