My God, what a horrific and cruel story about the Nigerian woman, Ms. Magazu. I'd not seen it, nor your thread, or I would have commented. This caning, and the possibility that it might be fatal Some interpretations of sharia hold that the flogger must hold the Koran under his arm while he administers the blow, which suggest she might survive the flogging; if the lashes are delivered at full force, 180 blows may prove fatal. it's incomprehensible to me, this degree of cruelty, particularly since a number of the men she implicated not only were not punished, but were protected. If anyone finds out if the flogging has not yet taken place (I read that Solon thinks it may have happened today)I'll write a letter to Amnesty International. I'm glad you posted that here, Greta. And so sorry that things like this take place.
