An Indonesian woman has been caned in front of a jeering crowd on Monday after being accused of "standing too close to her boyfriend".
The woman, who has not been identified, was among 13 people flogged in Aceh province on the western island of Sumatra for allegedly breaking strict Islamic laws, which ban intimate behaviour such as touching, hugging, and kissing between unmarried people.
Photographs of the young woman crying out in pain have been shared by local and international media, amid growing concerns over the rising number of people — particularly women — subjected to corporal punishment in the region. Only one of the group due to be flogged, a 22-year-old woman, was granted a temporary reprieve, because she was pregnant.
Aceh Deputy Mayor Zainal Arifin said she would still be caned, but her sentence would be suspended until after she had given birth. ..
well that is the news., that si the 23 year old lady and that is what town mayor says
