Two teenagers were flogged 17 times each because for hugging each other in Indonesia’s Aceh province, they also spent months in jail.

A female university student and her boyfriend, who are both 18-years-old, were handed the sentence under strict Sharia law in the province. The law forbids intimate displays in public.

The pair were marched on to a stage in front of a mosque in the provincial capital of Banda Aceh before being struck across the back with a bamboo cane. Hundreds of spectators gathered to watch the punishment being carried out.

Afterward, Banda Aceh deputy mayor Zainal Arifin said;

People outside of Aceh who think Islamic Sharia is cruel can now see that it is actually very tolerant and humane.

good job.... Na from clap, dance dey start

I don't like what I hate....from hugging e go enter another thing

Strict Sharia laws even with their Alahu Akbar, they still carry ballistic missile to kill fellow humans!

Those women for the third picture wicked

If its tolerant and humane why flog them? Seeing the girl on the floor is really heartbreaking

My sympathies go out to the young boy and girl for being born in the wrong country.

He's only being sarcastic

This are laws written by some sadistic men who forced their personal thinking to gullible followers.
