Web site of the silent city of Omid, which in Persian means "Hope," is a sort of Spoon River Anthology about the victims of the Islamic Republic since it was established in 1979 with the Revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini.
There you can read, for example, about a girl arrested in Tehran "for swimming in her home pool in a bathing suit."
She was found guilty of causing "a state of sexual arousal" in a neighbor from whose house she could be seen. She was sentenced to 60 lashes in April 1981, but died after the 30th.
The site is full of dramatic stories like that. It's "the largest database" of the victims murdered and executed by the theocratic regime, according to the Telegraph.
The archive currently contains 9,400 confirmed cases.
