Indonesian Gay Couple Sentenced To Public Caning In Aceh
BANDA ACEH, INDONESIA - MAY 23: An Indonesian man gets caning in public from an executor known as 'algojo' for having gay sex, which is against Sharia law on May 23, 2017 in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The two young gay men, aged 20 and 23, were caned 85 times each in the Indonesian province of Aceh during a public ceremony after being caught having sex last week. It was the first time gay men have been caned under Sharia law as gay sex is not illegal in most of Indonesia except for Aceh, which is the only province which exercises Islamic law. The punishment came a day after the police arrested 141 men at a sauna in the capital Jakarta on Monday due to suspicion of having a gay sex party, the latest crackdown on homosexuality in the country.
