RFERL Persian Letters writes that blogger My Dreams wrote a blog about the lashing sentences which were carried out in recent weeks.
This blogger believes the lashing sentences are a reminder from the Iranian authorities to critics that they should keep silent.

We will never forget them. Even if we forgive, we will never forget, so that this barbaric punishment is not repeated.
