Roya Heshmati, the woman flogged by the Persian regime
The authorities of the Iranian regime whipped a woman 74 times for “violating public morals” and fined her for not covering her head, according to the judiciary.
“The convicted woman, Roya Heshmati, encouraged permissiveness (by appearing) shamefully in crowded public places in Tehran,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website said late Saturday.
“His sentence of 74 lashes was applied in accordance with the law and sharia,” and “for violating public morality,” Mizan said.
Since shortly following the Islamic Revolution of 1979, all women in Iran have been required by law to cover their necks and heads.
Lashings for breaking the dress code are rare in Iran, although authorities have increasingly cracked down on those who defy the rules following the practice increased during anti-government protests that began in late 2022.
