Musicians and production team understood to be facing same punishment after livestream of patriotic song
In December 2024, the 29-year-old singer performed the patriotic song Az Khoone Javanane Vatan (From the Blood of the Youth of the Homeland) without a hijab in a livestreamed performance that went viral.
Isn’t 74 like a crazy number? Like no one can stay conscious through that kind of number?
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.
Seriously? Like they give her a couple lashes, let her go, then grab her off the street a week later and give her some more?
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.
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.
Are you sure you aren’t thinking of caning? I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how Singapore does it, but it’s a thin wooden rod, not a whip.
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.
73 would have been much more reasonable.
Oh, right, totally fine at 73
I think that losing consciousness thing isn’t real. At least not mostly.
People do pass out from pain. 74 lashes is kind of insane. Like back in the day on ships, wasn’t single digits most common?
Yeah, kind of thought it might even be fatal. Not that they would care.
Bunch of fucking barbarians
For singing a patriotic song. That should not be a controversial act much less a criminal one.
Total shithole. Iranian people deserve better but it’s only going to get worse thanks to Trump leaving them hanging and Bibi helping bomb them.
I remember the people of the Iranian diaspora being so happy about tenuous Trumps war, thinking he would help change the regime.
Trump doesn’t help people, he doesn’t care about anything but himself.
The people of Iran are generally quite nice. I wouldn’t call the entire country a shithole just because its run by fundamentalists
I don’t have a problem with Islam, I know plenty of people I’d consider decent/good that are Muslim. That being said as an atheist who thinks all religions are insane, I think Islam isn’t far from Christianity of 1000 years ago. Christianity used to be just as bloody and cruel, but it moved on to what we have as modern Christianity. Which isn’t great, but nowhere near what it was. Islam as a whole hasn’t moved on completely, which would be something akin to when the Catholic Church was in power in Europe.
Not spreading hate, Islam isn’t evil or make you evil, I just think it needs to evolve with at least a tad common sense like Christianity.
It’s unfair to imply that Islam has been stagnant for a millennia, when in reality numerous scholars from across the globe have contributed so much to Islamic jurisprudence and still do. “Islam” is a very wide notion and cannot be reduced to a historically and spacially specific vision thereof. You cannot find the same Sharia law in two Muslim countries. Some countries even accomodate different Islamic rites by providing them with parallel legal systems.

Stop being a weak bitch, just go with the second sentiment full throttle. It’s the correct one.
It is a fucked up country. I’m happy Trump helped. Oh wait…
You’re not wrong, he definitely helped the Ayatollahs.
Is this even survivable? If she doesn’t bleed out, she’ll have to deal with infections.
This woman in Aceh got 100 lashes:
The woman’s flogging was briefly paused because she could not bear the pain, according to an Agence France-Presse reporter in the field.
Apparently she survived it though.
How awful.
the only reason you care is because you want to feel better for murdering iranians for no reason at all.
they are a theocracy because of your interference.
Maybe we understand that the US is the greater of 2 evils in this specific war, while also feeling like the Iranian government is evil.
if you truly cared, we would be seeing this kind of post before the drums of war against iran started getting beat.
The th8ng about this administration is that they’re drumming constantly about everyone. Yeah - they attacked Iran, but the also threatened to attack Canada and Mexico and Greenland and China and everyone else. They’ve overwhelmed us with so much bullshit we’re too busy being shocked by the new attrocity to give a proper response to the last one.
oh, if only you weren’t too busy being shocked. that must take up all of your time.
