Iranian girls 'given eight lashings each because their parents could not pay school fees'

A group of schoolgirls in Iran have been flogged because their parents owed less than eight pounds in school fees, according to an opposition group in the country.

Ten girls from the Mokhtarabad village in the country’s southern province of Kerman reportedly endured eight lashings each from their school principal after they failed to pay 300,000 riyals in fees.

There has been widespread condemnation of the authorities after a video of the schoolgirls talking about their flogging was shared on social media. Full story...
