Muslim woman screams out in pain as she is caned 23 times in Indonesia for 'standing too close to her boyfriend'
Heart-wrenching
images show a screaming young woman flogged in front of a jeering crowd
for breaking Islamic laws as floggings reportedly spike in Indonesian
province.
An
unidentified woman screamed out in pain as she was caned 23 times in
Indonesia's Aceh for breaking the province's strict Islamic law
forbidding intimacy between unmarried couples.
Aceh
is the only province in Indonesia that enforces sharia law and people
face floggings for a range of offences , including gambling, drinking
alcohol and gay sex.
She was one of 13 people - aged between 21-30 - to be flogged on Monday at a mosque.
The woman was allegedly caught standing too close to her boyfriend.
The
six couples were found guilty of breaking Islamic law that bans
intimacy - no touching, hugging and kissing - between unmarried people.
One man was even caned for spending time with a member of the opposite sex in a private location, which could lead to adultery.
One
of the offenders, a 22-year-old pregnant woman, was not flogged on
Monday but was warned the punishment will be enforced after she has
given birth.
