Cases

The following are cases of stoning, "honour" killing, whipping and other forms of culturally-justified violence that the Campaign is following. If you have information on a case, write to us at info@stop-killing.org

Note: There are few instances of specific whipping cases in Iran on this page. This is because whipping/lashing is so common in Iran that it often goes unreported. Women and men are given lashes for a variety of reasons of Iran, including but not limited to drinking alcohol, walking with non-relative member of the opposite sex, not observing the “Islamic” dress code, attending a mixed-sex party, etc.
