During the past few weeks a number of other prisoners have received inhumane punishments. In Susangerd a prisoner was flogged on October 16 charged with theft. In the northern city of Gonbad-e-Kavus four youths were flogged publicly on October 18 charged with being “thugs.” These crimes that are carried out in public have prompted protests and outrage of Iranian people. In Gonbad-e-Kavous, a number of women passersby were taken to hospital after being shocked. A youth was arrested as he protested the punishments.
