Indonesian man faints during whipping for Sharia-banned sex

Despite international condemnation, public flogging is common for a range of offences banned under local Islamic law in the conservative Aceh region on Sumatra island, including gambling, drinking alcohol, and having gay or pre-marital sex.

On Thursday, a 22-year-old man -- sentenced to 100 strokes -- pleaded with a masked Sharia officer to stop lashing his back with a rattan cane before he fainted. The man had been found guilty of having sex with a woman who was also sentenced to 100 lashes outside a mosque in Aceh Timur district, along with another man she had relations with."This is the consequence they have to face for violating the law," onlooker Muhammad Yunus told AFP.

Brilliant notion

For those who are saying sharia whipping is barbarian... Because you never see it in action.. It is much lighter punishment than the civil whipping which could blow your butts off.. The sharia whipping punishment is mostly to shame him in public!

In a way this is animalistic and probably worse than a death sentence, it’s torture and it’s archaic!

Come on this is the 20th century. There must be other effective humane way to punish!

Move along.nothing to do with Malaysia. Only haze related news from indon is useful

Crazy.
