Dog owners in Iran will be sentenced to 74 lashes if they are caught keeping the pets at home or walking them in public. The new punishment is contained in a new draft bill signed by 32 members of the Iranian parliament, according to Iran's most reformist newspaper Shargh.

The proposed ban follows a series of episodes in which dog owners were fined and had their pets confiscated as the animals are considered to be ‘dirty’ under Islamic law.
