The 19-year-old grimaced and cried out as a masked sharia officer lashed his back with a rattan stick in the town of Idi. The man was arrested earlier this year on charges he molested and raped the victim, whose age was not revealed.“The maximum sentence is meant to be a deterrent,” Ivan Nanjjar Alavi, an official from the East Aceh prosecutor’s office, told reporters.

Also today, a 40-year-old and a 21-year-old man were whipped 100 times each for having sex with underage partners.
