Public flogging in the township of Behshahr

According to the regime-run news agency, Alborz, the Islamic regime’s judiciary in the town of Behshar sentenced a man to 100 lashes; the flogging took place in public.

International human rights organizations have repeatedly condemned these kinds of medieval penalties and have asked that the Islamic regime withdraw from such inhumane punishments.

A while ago a youth who was sentenced to flogging died after the implementation of their penalty.
