Indonesia's Aceh unveils new female flogging squad

The first female flogger prepares to whip a woman in public, in Banda Aceh, Indonesia for a morality crime. BANDA ACEH, Indonesia: The masked woman nervously approaches her target, shuffles into position and then unleashes a flurry of lashes - proving herself as the newest member of the first female flogging squad in Indonesia's Aceh province.

Unlike the rest of the nation, Aceh follows religious law as part of a 2005 autonomy deal agreed with the central government that ended a decades-long separatist insurgency. But convincing women to participate has been no easy task, and it's taken years to assemble the first female squad, according to Safriadi, who heads provincial capital Banda Aceh's Sharia Implementation Unit.

"It's kind of an indoctrination that we give to them so they have a better understanding of their role - have no mercy for those who violate God's law', he added.Aceh officials insist caning deters crime, with patrols often scouring public places and establishments - or acting on tip-offs - to monitor behaviour.

This summer, it made headlines over a fatwa, or religious edict, against online game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and opposing a national women's football league because it didn't have a stadium where only female players, match officials and spectators would be present. Many offenders have fled the area out of shame or because customers deserted their businesses. Few are keen to discuss their experience.
