The rogue Islamic regime in Iran has pushed itself, and its atrocities, into the headlines once again, this time for flogging a beautiful woman 74 times, leaving her injured, solely because she wouldn’t cover her hair and neck as men in the repressive government demanded.
The government claimed Roya Heshmati, 33, was “encouraging permissiveness” with her appearance.
The abuse was condemned by the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, and one activist group reported Heshmati described she was summoned to the government facility where sentences are delivered on January 3.
Her accounted noted the officer “in charge” threatened her with another criminal case for not wearing the head covering at the time.

“They opened the iron gate. The walls of the room were made of cement. There was a bed at the end of the small room with iron shackles welded to both sides. There was an iron device similar to the base of a large canvas with a place for handcuffs, with iron shackles worn-out in the middle of the room, and a small chair and table with whips on top, both behind the door. A medieval torture chamber,” she wrote about the attack she endured.
She said, “The man took a black leather whip from the bunch of whips behind the door, wrapped it around his hand twice and came to the bed. The judge said: Don’t hit too hard. The man started hitting. My shoulders, my back, my hips, my thighs, my legs, then start over. I didn’t count the number of lashes.”
Iran is one of few countries around the world that still violates standards set by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights that specifically bans the use of degrading and inhumane punishments such as flogging.
A published report said Iran’s courts claimed, “Her penalty of 74 strokes of the lash was carried out in accordance with the law and with Shariah.”
More and more women have been defying the men in Iran’s government who demand women follow a dress code, and whippings, while uncommon, have been increasing since protests against the repressive government began in 2022.
Those were triggered by the death then of Mahsa Amini, 22, who was arrested for her alleged breach of the Islamic dress code and died in custody.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they’re currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA?

The world’s freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction.”
