The couples were punished in Banda Aceh for showing affection in public, and their whipping — using a rattan cane — came after they’d already been jailed for several months, according to Gulf News.
They were beaten by a masked officer for behaving “amorously”.
Merdeka reports the “Islamic sharia violators” were whipped at Bustanus Salatin Park “in the middle of the city”, near the town hall.
The publication said not many residents attended the punishment, but students from Malaysia, studying at the Ar-Raniry State Islamic University, witnessed the distressing beating.
Wincing with pain, some collapsed after the caning, while one man was so badly injured paramedics tried to stretcher him off the stage, but he refused, and was instead carried down by police.
The mayor of Banda Aceh, Animulla Usman, said the aim of flogging the couples in public was to “make them repent”.#####
Headmaster belted me with cane when I was about 16 or 17, for looking at my watch at assembly. Assembly in the open on a hot and humid summer morning downunder.
Told me to hold out my hands, then he belted me on my thin fingers with a thick cane.
Big fat pig. Bloody hurt, the pain almost unbearable. Can't believe I was stoopid enough to let him do that to me.
Well I can, as I'd never been hit with a cane like that before.
Repent?
No.
Hate him with a passion forevermore?
Yes.
Work smarter?
Yes.
Always 'sick' when he was holding outdoor assemblies.
"bambu is not feeling well today".
Always had a note from mommy dearest...best he didn't tangle with her!
After leaving school made it my 'business' at every possible opportunity to lobby for caning to be banned in schools and the death penalty to be abolished.
These poor unfortunates in Indonesia are 'trapped'.
