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 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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
73 would have been much more reasonable.
Oh, right, totally fine at 73
@betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world was obviously being sarcastic (unless you’re playing along too and I’m the socially inept one here!)
Yes, I was playing around.
Ah, thanks for the clarification!
