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’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.
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?
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
For singing a patriotic song. That should not be a controversial act much less a criminal one.
I don’t have a problem with Islam, I know plenty of people I’d consider decent/good that are Muslim. That being said as an atheist who thinks all religions are insane, I think Islam isn’t far from Christianity of 1000 years ago. Christianity used to be just as bloody and cruel, but it moved on to what we have as modern Christianity. Which isn’t great, but nowhere near what it was. Islam as a whole hasn’t moved on completely, which would be something akin to when the Catholic Church was in power in Europe.
Not spreading hate, Islam isn’t evil or make you evil, I just think it needs to evolve with at least a tad common sense like Christianity.
Is this even survivable? If she doesn’t bleed out, she’ll have to deal with infections.
This woman in Aceh got 100 lashes:
The woman’s flogging was briefly paused because she could not bear the pain, according to an Agence France-Presse reporter in the field.
Apparently she survived it though.
How awful.
It is a fucked up country. I’m happy Trump helped. Oh wait…
