    No, they don’t whip them like the Americans whipped their slaves. 74 lashes would be unsurvivable with a bull whip, a la Americana

      I’m amazed with the way you can so confidently state such BS…

      American slave whip:

      Iranian whipping footage (Graphic, NSFL):

      They use exactly the same implement.

          Photographs weren’t exactly common 160 years ago, hense the difficulty.

          If you can find an image of american slavery that depicts the whips used in use, I welcome it (well kinda, I’d much prefer a non-graphic image of what’s used in Iran, though I couldn’t find that either). Otherwise this is the only relevant image I could find.

        Weird sources. Who has killed more people through whipping?

        Edit: funny how the Iranian whipping victim was nsfw, yet you chose a sfw whipping victim from the Americans, despite them whipping hundreds of thousands of people to death.

          1. Amnesty international and CARLI are about as reputable as sources can get.

          2. There are no stats answer that, from Iran or the atlantic slave trade.

          3. Unless that link is broken, that image depicts an american whip, not a whipping victim. edit: If you mean why didn’t I include photos of an american slavery whipping victim, there are no photographs of slave punishment I could find that have a legible image of the whip, which is the important info here. Photography 160 years ago was not great at capturing motion.

              1. It’s an extremely famous image - but one that does not show the whip that was used, which was the whole point.

              2. Those are scars from someone with keloid disorder, which visually appear far more severe but given he is not dead were likely done with the same instrument as I showed above.

              If you can find a relevant image from american slavery, or a non graphic image of the whips used in iranian corporal punishment, I welcome it! I looked quite hard and could find neither. Until then, please keep in mind I’m not trying to make the point you’re implying I’m trying to make.
