“Correct Islamic lashing is done with the Koran clamped tightly under the arm that wields the lash.”

Are you sure. I believe that in Saudi, lashings are done a few at a time because even as few as 20 lashes can be fatal if done all at once. I think they do like 5 a week giving time to heal somewhat between lashings.

Of course 200 lashings in six months means 8 or 9 lashes a week. It’s unlikely she will survive that long unless she is exceptionally strong, and lucky.

“Are you sure.”

I have not witnessed a public lashing, but I did spend more than a decade working in SA. I know of one particular expat (US) who was lashed that way and then put on the plane to be deported.
