The men were among a group of 10 publicly flogged in Banda Aceh under sharia law, which is not applied elsewhere in Indonesia
Two men were publicly flogged 76 times each in Indonesia’s conservative province of Aceh on Tuesday after they were found guilty of sexual relations by a court operating under strict Islamic law.
Gay sex is outlawed in Aceh, which imposes a version of sharia, the Islamic legal code, but it is not illegal elsewhere in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country.
The men were part of a group of 10 who were flogged on Tuesday at a park in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh, for a range of alleged crimes.
