Have followed this story too . Good that people pointed out that it is not a Singapore type caning(which I understand they don't do to female criminals) which is as someone said, torture.
Whats disturbing is that there exists a legal system based on religion which permits this sort of thing to be done, the severity is beside the point. Of course one could convert-but understand that under Sharia law conversion from Islam is punishable by death-think a case like that was in the news from Afghanistan few years back.
Remember several years ago there was a case where two teenage Aussie girls got caned in Malaysia for possession of marijuana and that also was done with a school-type cane.
Would love to read the story about Beyonce getting threatened with a caning. Happen to have a link? May try to find it myself.
