The folks of that area are different, very different from people who frequent this forum. Notice the article states "barb-wire, and about 100 police officers to keep the crowd held back". That would be 'normal' for that area. I have not been to Iran, but me tinks the difference is minimal bewteen all of the desert dwellers in that region. Therefore, this punishment is common, and far from harsh, in their eyes. Notice they wanted him flogged harder, and he collapsed (only) twice.
Different, very different.
