Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani, an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, has also been sentenced to 99 lashes for a photo published of her without a headscarf, according to her son.
In an interview published on the website of the French magazine La Regle du Jeu and the blog Dentelles et Tchador, Mohammadi-Ashtiani's son Sajjad said they learned of the new punishment from released inmates.
He said that a prison judge confirmed that she was to be lashed for spreading "corruption and indecency" by the publication of a photograph of her without a headscarf that appeared in a British newspaper.
In a related story, another prison judge has ordered the body of a different women found guilty of adultery exhumed after being made aware of a picture of her sans headscarf. Upon exhumation, the body is to be given 99 lashes as atonement for corruption and indecency, then re-interred.

Whenever there's enough of them to scare the ever loving shit out of people, they begin scaring the ever loving shit out of people. Whenever they're in the minority and surrounded by human beings, their "friends" speak glowingly about how peaceful they truly are. Jerks.
