A 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.
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.
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. She received her harsh floggings
for getting to close to a fellow university student who was also whipped.
Ms Elita keeled over in
pain at the end of her lashings as she had to be carried off stage and taken to
hospital.
