Floggings
have always been a popular form of punishment, in Islamic Republic. Usually
meted out on young people or on adults for having sex outside of marriage,
or for consumption of drugs or alcohol.
A fervent nationalist, Dr. Darabi initially supported the 1979 so called revolution. She was one of two women who met with (on the time) the new prime minister, Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, to present a list of women's demands.

Instead, he established an Islamic Republic that has stripped women of almost every right they had obtained in the previous decades.
