The barbaric punishment was carried out in public in a square in the city of Kermanshah. Five other Muslim men were also flogged in public with 70 lashes for not fasting during during the month of Ramadan.
UK Daily Mail (h/t Susan K) A spokesperson from The National Council of Resistance of Iran, a political coalition which opposes the government, denounced the treatment as ‘savage’ and called on western countries to take action.
They said: ‘The silence of the world community, especially of western countries, vis-à-vis these medieval punishments under the excuse of having nuclear talks with Iran has intensified the brutal and systematic violation of human rights in Iran. ‘This will ultimately embolden the Iranian regime to continue its nuclear projects more than before.’
But earlier this year the UN blasted Iran for the persecution of Christians in a damning report laid bare to the world in March.
There are an estimated 250,000 Christians in Iran’s 76 million strong population. They all face torture, imprisonment or the death sentence under Sharia law for not observing Islamic religious festivals and dress codes.

There’ s a new story from today in Iran: man sentenced to be stoned and then hanged…
What did he do?
They don’t say. Stoning would be the result of looking at someone from the opposite gender and hanging could be a variety of things. The stoning is the first punishment to be carried out and then the hanging.
Isn’t stoning and hanging someone redundant?
LMAO They bitch when the punishment is to light or to heavy. They just bitch.
Troglodytes cannot think on their own, so they borrow from other mohommedists and bitch more.
One interesting thing I notice is how Islam must be “ENFORCED”. Just saying.
The peaceful religion (aka: CULT) of Islam FORCES it’s will upon people AGAIN. The muslim-shit-bag-president we have lifts his lessons from his peers (muslim leaders) and also “forces” his will as to how America should look & what we stand for, behind & against. His certain ideas and beliefs however are based on his childhood which took place many thousands of miles from America and her Judaea/Christian belief system. HIS beliefs sadly align more with Anti-Colonialism and Hamas. Oddly though some of his ideology directly opposes his Cult’s view of homosexuality.
Doctors in Iran must profit from these brutalities, eh? Treating lips for infection, doing skin grafts, treating the whip welts for infection and so on … Well, Iran’s doctors are among the political elite, so they probably endorse this brutality.
Totally unrelated this, but this is the most recent story from my local area. And the reason why the burqa should be banned!!!!!
How is anyone going to be able to identify this ape.
Blackburn hit-and-run
1 hour ago
A five-year-old boy has been left with a broken leg after a hit-and-run in Blackburn.
Lancashire Police said the boy was hit in Whitwell Place at 20:00 BST on Wednesday. He was kept in the Royal Blackburn Hospital overnight.
The driver is described as an “Asian woman wearing a burkha”, who was in a silver car, a police spokesman said.
Sgt Sean Cunningham, of the road policing unit, appealed for witnesses and the driver to come forward.
They must have put his head in some kind of vise to restrict head movement. Excruciating like hell. I’m always amazed at their creativity towards torture.
did he survive the whipping? i thought cigarettes weer haram?
There’s something special in our Constitution forbidding cruel and unusual punishments. Some of the framers had Korans and read about these atrocities there.. Just wondering.
The Framers were well aware of the European practices of torture not only for punishment, but also to gain false confessions.
As a child I lived in Germany with my Army father and got to travel from Britain to Italy. In many of their museums and castles all the countries had displays of equipment for torture. Susan K’s comment doesn’t begin to describe man’s “creativity” in administering torture.
