148 lashes is a death sentence.
I believe I once read that in most places sentences like these are typically meted out over weeks or months and not all at once
Well that's nice. You know the Human body takes weeks or months to heal from this these types of wounds, right? So if I'm giving you lashes over a period of weeks or months, how long does it take for your wounds to heal?
You're fine with bleeding and being susceptible to some infection during (and after) your lash period?
Also, it usually not the lashes that kill you its the shock OR Infection. I'm pretty sure they're not put putting polysporin on her lash cuts to ensure she doesn't develop a staph infection, and I'm pretty sure Iranian prisons are not renowned for their cleanliness.
How can you not be outraged at this? At it's core, you have someone trying to stand up for basic human rights and they going to be murdered for it.
Here's a little quote I love...

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
He was executed by the Nazi's for speaking out.
It sucks to be ethical, but that's all that separates us from being animals.
