Some men and women wept profusely after they were publicly flogged for allegedly having sexual intercourse outside marriage.
The Indonesian woman cries as she is about to be flogged
About ten Indonesian men and women wept while been given 100 lashes of the whip for adultery in Banda Aceh under the brutal Sharia law. The suspects were given the lashes in public as people watched.
They were flogged by masked men. The suspects couldn't hold back tears as they wept.
Dailymail reported that the beatings occurred in Aceh, which is the only province in the country which implements Sharia law in full.
The province began implementing Sharia law after being granted autonomy in 2001 – an attempt by the government in Jakarta to quell a long-running separatist insurgency. Islamic laws have been strengthened since Aceh struck a peace deal with Jakarta in 2005.
People are flogged for a range of offences including gambling, drinking alcohol, gay s*x or any sexual relationship outside marriage.
More than 90 per cent of the 255million people who live in Indonesia describe themselves as Muslim, but the vast majority practice a moderate form of the faith.
The brutal and public beatings have become more prevalent this year with a number of reported incidents of those being punished collapsing in pain on stage.
