In an unusual turn in the case, the lawyer also confirmed that Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani was lashed 99 times last week in a separate punishment meted out because a British newspaper ran a picture of an unveiled woman mistakenly identified as her. Under Iran's clerical rule, women must cover their hair in public. The newspaper later apologized for the error

So when can we expect the Islamic Iranian savages to apologize and make amends? Never mind. I heard something about a kooky pastor somewhere down south to be outraged about.

The story is denied from Iran, and the lawyer refuses to name the witness from whom he got this report. Originally, it was said to be her son who reported that she had been lashed over a photograph - but it is noticable that in recent interviews he makes no mention of it.
