Unmarried Couple Caned in Indonesia

Six couples were publicly whipped in Indonesia's conservative Aceh province Monday, Mar. 4, for relations outside marriage. The twelve people whipped were arrested late last year during a raid on a hotel in the province's capital Banda Aceh.
Rights groups have slammed public caning as cruel, and Indonesia's President Joko Widodo has called for it to end. But the practice has wide support among Aceh's mostly Muslim population -- around
98 percent of its five million residents practice Islam. Aceh adopted religious law after it was granted special autonomy in 2001, an attempt by the central government to quell a long-running separatist insurgency. (AFP)

That doesn't look so painfull, i think the public humiliation is worse

[harounsial]

The perfect video on my recommendations for this "International Muslim Women's Day"

[JDC]

The title should be:
People getting publicly humiliated by being hit by a stick.

The caning doesn't hurt....public humiliation is forever.

Would have been really funny if someone just said "harder daddy"

[arunr]

Barbarian era of indonesia.civilised people never behave like this.Only pity for these people.🙏

[bhartiyasena]

Our teachers used to beat us harder than that in school days🤣🤣

[ruebenaragon]

That light tapping is pretty much just saying "shame. shame. shame"

[nsoper]

To be fair this looks all a lot more ceremonial than judicial. It's public shaming rather than corporal punishment.

[MuhammadRizky-glgs]

That doesn't look painful, my mom whopping would be a lot more painful than this

[theteamlilly]

I think the head butt at 1:03 hurt the guy next in line for a caning more then his upcoming punishment, lol.

[AA-bhzg]

I believe the purpose of the lashing is to humiliate not to hurt the individual .

[prakxyz]

Indonesians I have one question..

Is this sharia better or the one followed by taliban?

[thehippo_]

1:01 HEAD CRASH is more painful than Whipping

😅

[Mona-dlgo]

This punishment is not getting him/her feel pain, but want to make him/her feel shameful

[adamputragunawan]

Atleast it's better than jahannam

[deadpan]

0:50 lol even my mom hits me harder than this
