Libya controversy over woman’s flogging
In the city of Sebha in Libya, a public legal punishment was carried out on a woman, who was made to kneel and was publicly whipped in front of passersby in the presence of judicial police officers. This was based on a ruling issued by the South Sebha Court on July 21, 2026, sentencing her to 100 lashes. The event sparked widespread controversy among human rights activists and the community, particularly regarding the legality of executing the punishment publicly in the street, the lack of clarity about the legal procedures followed, and the guarantees or the presence of the other party involved in the case. Observers considered this act as a display of punishment and a message to society, rather than a fair application of the law. Meanwhile, the Libya Human Rights Foundation criticized the concealment of details surrounding the execution and the lack of transparency, warning against the recurrence of such practices, which promote discrimination and set a dangerous precedent.
