Flogging to Death I guess this one is better

Yassine El Bouknify Jan 20, 2021:
السياط يدل على التعذيب حتى الموت
لذلك اقترح ما يلي:
Torturing before Dying (Death)
Or Tortured before Death (It depends on the tense which you use)
Shaimaa Gaber (asker) Jan 20, 2021:
تقرير عن التعذيب حتى الموت العنوان لا يعبر عن المعنى الحرفي للتقرير الذي يتحدث عن التعذيب حتى الموت في السجون
Yassine El Bouknify Jan 20, 2021:
@Asker: هل السياط له علاقة باﻹعدام أم كناية عن نوع من الديكتاتورية؟

Mortal Flogging

Given the nature of the topic/title, I have opted for an official Amnesty International term ''Flogging'', which I have combined with ''Mortal'' to convey the meaning in the title.
