ALOR STAR May 27 - Two padi farmers were jailed for between eight and 10
years and ordered to be given six strokes of the rotan each by the Sessions
Court here Thursday for raping an underage girl four years ago.
Azman Ahmad and Yusrizal Yusof, both 24, were found guilty of raping the girl,
who was then aged 15 years 10 months, in a hut in Pida 2 1/2, Sungai Korok,
Kubang Pasu, between 11.15 pm and 11.40 pm on Aug 21, 2000.

one case we can hear one of the attendants positioned closest to the prisoner
at the frame telling him to "take a breath, take a breath" ("tarik nafas").

Acara sebatan secara Islam di Indonesia
Indonesia laksana hukuman sebat
JAKARTA 24 Jun - Undang-undang Indonesia hari ini mencatat
sejarah apabila hukuman sebat dilaksanakan ke atas 15 orang
yang melakukan kesalahan berjudi berdasarkan syariat Islam
yang mula dikuatkuasakan di Aceh.
Hukuman bersejarah itu dilaksanakan selepas solat Jumaat di
halaman terbuka Masjid Agung Bireun, kira-kira 350 kilometer
dari Banda Aceh disaksikan kira-kira 2,000 penduduk setempat
dan mendapat liputan meluas media massa.
Atas alasan kesihatan, baki 11 lagi tertuduh akan menjalani
hukuman di halaman masjid di daerah masing-masing pada
waktu yang belum ditetapkan lagi.
Kesemua mereka yang kebanyakannya petani dan peniaga kecil
ditangkap semasa sedang berjudi dalam tempoh beberapa bulan
ini, sejak undang-undang syariat dikuatkuasakan.
Mahkamah Syariah Bireun mendapati mereka bersalah dan
menjatuhkan hukuman sebat di antara enam dan sepuluh kali
berdasarkan Peraturan Daerah No. 13 Tahun 2003 Tentang
Perjudian.
Indonesia laksana hukuman sebat
Sebelum disebat, identiti dan kesalahan tertuduh dibacakan untuk
memberi ingatan kepada orang ramai yang berpusu-pusu di halaman
masjid supaya tidak mengulangi kesalahan yang sama.
Selepas menjalani hukuman sebat itu, mereka dibebaskan dan menerima
bungkusan hadiah serta dipeluk oleh para pegawai agama dan daerah
yang menghadiri majlis tersebut.
Mengikut peraturan hukuman sebat, rotan yang digunakan berdiameter
di antara 0.75 hingga 1 sentimeter dan panjang 1 meter dengan sebatan
tidak sehingga menimbulkan luka.
Hukuman rotan bagi kesalahan berjudi dan berkhalwat ini mendapat
kecaman beberapa organisasi hak asasi manusia yang menyifatkannya
tidak berperikemanusiaan dan merendahkan darjat manusia.
Pelbagai pihak juga mendesak agar hukuman sebat turut dikenakan
terhadap kesalahan lain khususnya yang menimbulkan kerugian kepada
negara seperti rasuah dan menyelewengkan wang kerajaan

Commercial postcard from the
Old Melbourne Gaol, now a
museum, in Australia. The
implements appear to be a
cat, a birch and a cane. The
flogging triangle itself
resembles others we have
seen, but the device attached
to its front is unlike anything I
have previously seen. A reader
who has visited the museum
writes to say that this is a
hinged pad, "something like a
folding table, covered in green
billiard-table-type felt", to be
locked down for birching on
the buttocks (with the prisoner
bending over it) and kept in
the illustrated upright position
for flogging on the upper back.

BRUNEI
Demonstration on
a dummy of
judicial caning in
Brunei
Caned buttocks
Evidently not the same picture
as the one linked above. This
seems to be from some sort of
museum or display, because it
has a caption, which reads in
Malay: Kesan luka hukuman
sebat ("marks of wounds from
caning punishment"). Malay is
an official language in both
Brunei and Malaysia, so why
do I think this is probably from
Brunei? First, because the JCP
material that we know to have
been displayed in Malaysia,
such as at the Pudu Prison
Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur,
was captioned in English..
CHINA
Found in a picture
agency's library, this is
dated "circa 1900" and
its caption reads:
"Chinese punishment:
Whipping a lawbreaker.
Even the theft of a few
pennies brought about
this severe reprisal."
Note that the modus
operandi is identical to
that in "Wei Hai Wei
flogging" (see below).
Punishment of the Bastinado
Hand-coloured engraving from
a painting by Thomas Allom,
published in London around
1843. Most dictionaries define
bastinado as a punishment
applied to the soles of the feet,
but this is clearly a caning on
the clothed backside. You can
buy a full-size print for £22 at
http://www.oldprints.co.uk/prints
/cn/images/cn093.htm. For a
glimpse of the long history of
this kind of punishment in
China, and a much older
illustration, see this 2003 news
item.
Wei Hai Wei flogging
From an undated postcard,
which had "punished for
stealing" written on the back.
Wei Hai Wei is a port and
naval base on the north coast
of the Shantung Peninsula. It
was leased to the British (who
called it Port Edward) from
1898 to 1930, hence perhaps
the British-looking soldier who
is evidently monitoring this
infliction. However, the modus
operandi shown here is more
traditional Chinese than British
CONGO (formerly BELGIAN CONGO)
Native flogging
This picture has appeared in various
places, most recently in King Leopold's
Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and
Heroism in Colonial Africa by Adam
Hochschild (Boston, 1999). It seems
likely to be from the period around 1900
when the King of Belgium was running
the Congo as his personal fief with the
aid of slave labour. The culprit is
completely naked, but the strokes of
the whip appear to be landing across
the buttocks alone. It seems a bit odd
that this is going on in what looks like a
country lane. Perhaps other officials
are present, but out of shot. Is the
onlooker an assistant to the operation,
or -- noting his rather hangdog posture,
and the fact that he seems to be
holding his own bottom -- another
offender waiting his turn?
'Civilisation in Congo
Painting dated 1884, on show at
"Memory of Congo: The Colonial Era"
exhibition in Brussels. The
exhibition's caption says: "Flogging
by whip or stick, a punishment
reserved for Africans, was allowed by
penal law until 1940. It was also
allowed by army and prison
regulations. It could also be used as a
form of punishment wherever custom
allowed it. Flogging had already been
denounced when Stanley was
'founding the Free State'. It was then a
vestige of pre-colonial slavery. Thus it
is not enough to regard the whip as
simply the symbol of colonial
oppression." This punishment is
being given on the upper back, in
contrast to the previous item, which
gives photographic proof of flogging
on the bare buttocks.

GERMANY
Prügelbock
This Prügelbock (whipping trestle) is at the prison museum at
Celle, Lower Saxony. On it sits a cat with perhaps six tails. The
museum's German-language website says that this particular
example was used until 1913. There don't seem to be any other
details. It's hard to work out from the picture what goes where, or
what the bits and pieces to the left and underneath are
for.

INDIA Flogging frames, Andaman Islands
The Andaman
Islands are off the
Burma/Thailand
coast, but belong
to India. A large
prison was built at
the main town, Port
Blair, under British
rule, and part of it
is now a museum.
These two pictures
are of two slightly
different flogging
frames there. The
colour picture
shows one on
display with a
model of a prisoner
mounted on it,.
INDONESIA (formerly DUTCH EAST INDIES
From a Dutch book, Uit onze
Koloniën: Uitvoerig reisverhaal
(From our colonies: Detailed
account of a journey), by Henri
Hubert van Kol (Leiden, 1903).
The prisoner's buttocks have been
bared, though only just. He is tied,
rather loosely it would appear, to a
post that looks as if it has been
installed and fitted out specially for
the purpose. Two officials (at left of
picture) are pulling on a rope
attached to a ring holding his
wrists. Everyone looks rather stiff,
as if consciously posing for the
photographer, and the man with
the cane is holding it still in the air
and is plainly not in motion, so I
think the whole scene is probably
staged.
IRAN (formerly PERSIA)
Persia is the country
now known as Iran.
Note that exactly the
same punishment is
still applied there to this
day, with the offender
similarly stripped to the
waist, in front of a
crowd likewise
gathered in the street -see this February 2001
news photograph.
However, in 1910 they
used a proper flogging
triangle rather than a
lamp post, and had two
operators inflicting
alternate strokes from
opposite sides.
MALAYSIA A judicial caning
I'm virtually certain this is
from Malaysia, though it appears
on another website as being from
Singapore and on yet another as
from Thailand. The men are of
Malay/Indonesian racial type -with the Malay-Muslim penchant
for moustaches much in evidence
-- which would make it
Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei or
Indonesia. But there is no formal
JCP in Indonesia, and in
Singapore and Brunei the culprit
is, as far as I am aware, always
in a bending-over posture with
feet together, whereas we know
from other pictures that in
Malaysia the recipient stands
upright, feet apart, as here.
Caning demonstration on a dummy
Picture from the website of the
State of Johor Anti-Drug Agency
of the Johor Ministry of Internal
Security. The caption in Malay
says "Demontrasi hukuman
sebat bagi kesalahan
pengedaran dan memiliki dadah"
(Demonstration of caning
punishment for the offences of
trafficking in and possessing
drugs). What's quite interesting
is that, unlike the other dummy
caning pictures we have seen,
the audience here are not the
general public but uniformed
staff of some kind. Could this be
a sort of preliminary training
session for prison officers
thinking of volunteering to
become whipping operatives?
clearer view of the dummy
Clearly the same dummy as
above, this time put on show
in a shopping mall in Johore
Baru, capital of Johor state,
as shown on the website of
one Seattle Steve, who was
visiting JB as a tourist and
found it all a bit much. The
trestle shown looks a bit too
flimsy to be a real one. Also
on display were these
punishment canes, the
smallest one being for
punishing white-collar crimes.
Steve says he was told the
smaller ones hurt just as
much as the big one, which
seems rather unlikely to me.
Were that so, what would be
the point of having a smaller
one?
Public caning in Pakistan
In colour for the first time,
and a better-quality picture
than we have had before,
this is clearly a judicial
caning in Pakistan before a
crowd at a stadium. I think it
is probably Karachi - the Aframe is identical to that
seen in this sequence of
pictures. This would be
during the regime of General
Zia al Huq, around 1980.
One difference with the
other pictures is that the
administering officer
appears not to be taking a
run-up. Note another prison
officer in the background
holding a bundle of canes.
For yet more Pakistan JCP
photos
Another open-air caning
This Associated Press picture is credited to
"AP Photo/Naeem-ul-Haq" and the caption
reads: "A 40-year-old drug dealer is publicly
given 10 lashes at a playground on Sunday
morning, July 23, 1995 in Karachi. Zameen
Khan alias Sheenu was arrested in 1990
with 1.5 kg of heroin. He was sentenced to
five years' imprisonment and 10 lashes by
the court. It was the first time since 1988 that
an accused was publicly flogged." This
makes it much more recent than the other
Pakistan caning pictures we have, all of
which are thought to date from around 1980.
The offender has been made to bend over
and hold on to an ordinary domestic chair,
rather after the manner of a naughty
schoolboy being dealt with in the
headmaster's study, as also seen in the top
and bottom pictures on this page
And another one
Rather like the previous
one, in that it's another
"schoolboy-style" caning,
in a rather public-looking
place but with hardly any
of the public present. (I
think the spectator in
white may be another
culprit waiting his turn to
bend over the chair; it's
hard to be certain, but he
looks as if he may be
being held on a chain by
the wrist.) This picture
allegedly comes from
Newsweek in 1987. I
hope to check that out
later and, if I do find it, to
reproduce whatever text
went with it.
Flogged on the ground
This Associated Press photo is captioned:
"Nadeem Butt, a notorious local drug seller,
is publicly beaten by police in Lahore
Saturday, Jan. 10, 1998. During the Islamic
holy fasting month of Ramadan, police are
on special alert for vice crimes such as drug
pushing and gambling." Which rather gives
the impression that this isn't a caning by
order of a court, but an ad hoc, not to say
ultra vires, informal punishment carried out
on the spot at the police's whim. However, it
can't have been as ad hoc as all that, (a)
because a press photographer was present
and (b) because the culprit is being held by
a chain to his wrists, so some element of
preparation has gone into the event. Had
this been in one of the tribal areas that are
beyond the reach of the central government,
it would be less surprising -- see for
instance this public whipping by so-called
religious scholars in 1992
PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Rabaul is the main town on the
island of New Britain, part of what
is now Papua New Guinea. The
part of New Guinea taken by
Britain in the 19th century passed
to Australian control in 1906.
Other bits of it, including Rabaul,
had been in German hands since
1884. When the First World War
broke out, Australian forces
occupied the German areas,
taking Rabaul on 13 September
1914. This photograph, captioned
"Germans are flogged at Rabaul
for beating a priest they thought
was a spy", appeared without
further explanation in an
unidentified Australian reference
work.
Another Chechnya caning

caption
"Chechen

1996". The
source is
unknown,
but the
picture
looks

enough.

involve an implement
more like a cane or
switch than the big
"paddle" shown here.

UNITED KINGDOM
A British prison flogging
This is believed to be the only
official picture ever published of
a (possibly posed) flogging with
the cat-o'-nine-tails in a British
prison. This might be either as a
judicial sentence by a court (in
addition to a prison term) or as a
punishment for a very serious
breach of internal prison
discipline; the procedure in the
two cases was identical. I
believe the picture was
authorised by Winston Churchill
as Home Secretary of the day,
which fixes the date at 1910 or
1911.
Staged reconstruction of a British prison flogging
Hollywood movies are not renowned for getting
historical details right, to put it mildly. But here is
an exception. I'm told the picture is a still from a
1948 film noir called "Kiss the Blood off my
Hands" (which I haven't seen), starring Burt
Lancaster as an American seaman falling into
crime in London. Compare with the real thing,
above. The frame appears to have been
reproduced very precisely. This view gives a
clearer impression of the hoist-and-pulley system
keeping the prisoner's arms stretched up.
However, the handle of the cat looks to be too
long and its separate strands don't appear to
hang down properly -- the implement is too big
altogether and looks more like an ordinary whip.
Perhaps the makers of the film didn't think the
real thing looked scary enough: it was a
surprisingly small and lightweight implement,
according to this article by a retired police chief in
a tabloid paper of 1954, by which time CP could
no longer be ordered by the courts but was still
occasionally used for prison disciplinary offences
involving serious violence.
Flogging a Convict
A cigarette card,
allegedly from
1902. Although
published in the
UK, the picture
has an American
look. In any
event it is
probably posed
by actors and not
"the real thing".
The flogging stand in Govan Police Station
This picture (though possibly not the
object itself) is in a museum in
Glasgow. The strange "flogging stand"
looks to have been adapted from some
piece of domestic furniture, possibly a
wardrobe. It's difficult to see otherwise
why it would be made of polished
wood or have such an elaborate and
otiose cornice at the top. At all events,
the picture is highly misleading in
showing the lad stripped down TO the
waist, implying that the punishment
was applied to the upper back. He
should be stripped FROM the waist
down: juvenile police court birchings
and tawsings in Scotland were, as far
as I know, always administered across
the offender's bare posterior. Note
padding on the front of the thing to
cushion the boy's abdomen. That in
itself tends to suggest that the impact
was expected at a level somewhat
lower than his shoulders
