    Holy shit is 74 lashes even survivable?? I feel like it would flay the flesh off his back and never recover, die from infection or something. Not a doctor and not a torturer so idk.

      Obligatory what Iran is doing makes no fucking sense.

      That aside, lashing in Islam doesn’t mean lashing with all your strength and ripping the flesh off the guy you’re lashing. There are a lot of restrictions to make the process painful, but survivable without permanent injuries.

        Fuck any religion that posits death or beating for anyone. Fuck any religion that teaches women are subservient to men. I don’t give a flying fuck about “a lot of restrictions” – fuck this brutal religion.

            I’d rather see the clerical leadership publicly executed for their crimes against humanity and Iranians be free from the boot of oppression.

            Uh, I’m upset about religions that teach people women are not worthy of being on the same level as men. I’m upset that certain countries beat the crap out of people to dissuade then from opposing the decisions of their ruling oligarchs…

      From what I understand they can stretch that over multiple sessions. No idea if they have a fixed set of lashes per session or if they simply stop when a doctor signals it gets problematic and continue when the wounds have somewhat started to heal.
