He said that he was immediately arrested and taken to the police station where he was sentenced to 130 lashes. This sentence, for beer drinking, was carried out publicly according to news agency Iran Focus.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Even if you're an Jew you can live peacefully in Iran. http://greensickle.com/2007/04/reali...patriotic.html But cross the line and you're done. I remember reading once about an Iranian Jewish Woman getting on a predominately Muslim bus and sitting at the front. Bad move. The men nearly beat her to death.

Don't vacation to Iran.

If you want to have fun in an potentially unforgiving place then go to Singapore where you risk similar punishment for being drunk and disorderly, but not for solely drinking beer.

So wait, they sell beer in Iran but it is illegal to drink it? cause I highly doubt they smuggled it in....

Ummmmmm? What?

Either way you can only blame yourself for taking a "Holiday" in Iran....

So you're cool with whipping people that drink beer?

BTW, how do you stand on the subject of illegal aliens in the US?

In my post I didn't mean 130 lashings was acceptable. Iran has a sloppy human rights history and this is just as asinine.
