Assassin Criminal Flogged Flogging Iran Iranian Justice Persia Persian Punished Punishment Whipped Whipping
EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the moment of justice being served in Persia during the 1910s. The criminal, an assassin, is being publicly punished for his heinous crimes against the Persian community. The scene unfolds in a bustling square, surrounded by a curious and somber crowd. The criminal, dressed in traditional Persian attire, is bound and kneeling before a judge or authority figure. In the background, two men prepare to administer the punishment, each holding a long, thick whip. The criminal's back is already marred with welts and cuts from previous lashes. The air is heavy with tension and the weight of the moment. The criminal's expression is one of resignation and acceptance, as if he has come to terms with his fate. The scene is a stark reminder of the importance of justice and the consequences of wrongdoing. Despite the severity of the punishment, the crowd watches in silence, bearing witness to the event. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the social and cultural practices of Persia during a time of change and transformation.
