Wait… so, torturing someone is a form of torture?
No way!
Thank you rights groups, we wouldn’t have known otherwise!
Uhhhhh… Yeah?
Even if you feel that whipping is a legitimate form of punishment, 74 lashes is such a crazy number. Like I’m not sure she’ll be conscious for the last of it.
Yeah, Singapore limits it to 24 total, and most people only get 3, 6 tops.
Yeah, I’d only ever heard of people getting at most 8 or 10 anywhere. This seems insanely excessive.
At that point it’s not even about punishment of the person, this is just straight up making an example.
Yeah, for sure. About wearing a friggen piece of cloth.
There is no such thing as a legitimate form of punishment
Penal systems exist for correction, not punishment. The idea of a sentence is how long you need to separate that individual from society, with access to excellent mental health professionals and various forms of therapy, before they can safely return to society.
Punishment doesn’t correct people.
I think it’s supposed to be a deterrent, not a correction. With the prospect of a punishment like this, you would think twice to step over the line.
This is conservatism. Plain and simple. Conservatism should be a capital offense in every nation. There is no such thing as a conservative in any country whose life is valuable. They are all pure evil and need to be dealt with as such.
idk, I use Debian Stable because I’m conservative.
I also value lives of all humans and all animals.
I also value lives of all humans and all animals.
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every. Word.
I can’t imagine why women would want to live in such an oppressive place.
Oh, okay. Next time you’re born, you should make sure to choose a good place.
I think they were being satirical
That would require a “/s”
Or the ability to pick up on context clues. And /s is for sarcasm.
Oh yeah. They can just move and sell their houses to aquaman.
Yes this is bad.
And also USA systemically tortures thousands of people for decades at a time and it’s completely “normal”.
Even for whataboutism this is a rather weak argument, like how is that even remotely the same.
Barbaric tradition. Absolutely awful.
FYI be very carefully of anti-Iran articles like this. It’s propaganda.
Obviously treating her like this is abhorrent. Just remember that the media is not your friend.
How about the crazy shit France enforces about what muslim kids can wear in school and how hamfisted and discriminatory it is?
How about Israel now trying to push to expel ANY Arabs from its government?
The spin is hard to perceive because nothing about this article is necessarily wrong and yes of course the Iranian government has some serious problems, I see no reason to doubt for example that several thousand protestors were killed in Iran but it is not in the high tens of thousands like is so confidently reported in western media with little if any inspection of the credulity of the claims.
It is difficult and confusing but also if you just remember the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend and that falling into believing so is dangerous, all of this comes back to that in the end.
Choose your enemies based on how they behave not who their enemies are.
Better cool it down with the medieval bullshit, they are already being bombed by America and are scrutinized for the killings of hundreds of thousands protesters, bad time to make more enemies.
