💨 Abstract

In Indonesia's Aceh province, two young men were publicly caned for having a same-sex relationship, as per Islamic Sharia law. The incident, witnessed by family and locals, received 77 and 82 lashes, respectively, for providing a place for their sexual activities. Amnesty International condemned the act as "a horrifying act of discrimination" and called for the government to revoke laws allowing flogging.
