    I’ve read about this before. It’s worse than you think. It’s not done all at once and she doesn’t know when it will happen.

      It’s terrorism and not punishment. About sending a message to everyone else. Drawing out the abuse gives more visibility than a single incident. And they’ll turn around and say it’s in accordance to a loving god. Right.

        Yup Iran is one of the worst countries in the world and if it wasn’t for oil money propping up the lunatics we’d be all happier without it.

        I don’t remember exactly and I don’t have the stomach to search it again. But lashing is done in the butt. Just like a jail sentence, you’re ordered to present yourself at a place where you’ll receive your punishment. They put you over some kind of bench and expose your buttocks. By the fifth lash the skin is already broken and you’re bleeding. So a “doctor” can order the punishment to stop. Months later you’re ordered back to continue your sentence.

            Maybe I’m mixing torture techniques. There’s also flogging that follows the same pattern, but IIRC, the victim stays jailed during sentence, and it’s done on the back.

        Definitely not what I expected if so. More like, a few lashes, wait a few minutes. Make it last longer, make her unable up anticipate the pain.
