Indonesian ‘Unmarried’ Couple Brutally Flogged In Public
The shocking photos of an unmarried couple being brutally flogged in public in Indonesia’s Aceh province have since been making rounds on social media.
According to reports from Dailymail, the couple were been flogged in public for going on date which is a violation of Sharia law in the country.
The incident took place at Al Furqon Mosque in the city of Banda Aceh, where the woman is pictured crying as a hooded man metes out lashings with a rattan cane on a stage next to the mosque in front of a large, cheering crowd.
Another photo also show the man standing as he received the same brutal punishment.
Aceh began implementing sharia law after being granted special autonomy in 2001, an effort by the central government in Jakarta to quell a long-running separatist insurgency and it is the only province in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country that is allowed to implement Islamic Sharia law.
Under the law men and women, who are not spouses, are not allowed to get too close due to the ‘khalwat‘ offence – and punishment is by public caning.
