Judicial corporal punishment
Punitive practice / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judicial corporal punishment is the infliction of corporal punishment as a result of a sentence imposed on an offender by a court of law, including flagellation (also called flogging or whipping), forced amputations, caning, bastinado, birching, or strapping. Legal corporal punishment is forbidden in most countries, but it still is a form of legal punishment practiced according to the legislations of Brunei,[1] Iran,[1] Libya,[1] the Maldives,[1] Malaysia,[1] Saudi Arabia,[1] Singapore,[1] the United Arab Emirates,[2][1] Yemen,[1] and Qatar,[1] as well as parts of Indonesia (Aceh province)[1] and Nigeria (northern states).[1]
