Pakistani civil society activists shout slogans during a protest
Pakistani civil society activists shout slogans during a protest against Islamic militants in Lahore mall road on April 4, 2009. Pakistan ordered an investigation into a video of a woman being flogged in the former resort of
Swat, where the government signed an agreement with a pro-Taliban cleric to allow sharia law. Apparently filmed on a mobile phone, the video shows two men pinning down a burqa-clad woman by her feet and shoulders, as a bearded man in a turban flogs her 34 times with a whip and the victim screams in agony.
