A sharia law official caning two women for selling sex services online in Langsa, Aceh province, today.

BANDA ACEH: Two Indonesian women have been publicly whipped nearly 100 times each for selling sex workers’ services online, an official in the country’s conservative Aceh province said Tuesday. Aceh, at the tip of Sumatra, is the only region in Muslim-majority Indonesia to impose Islamic shariah law, which allows flogging for a range of offences including prostitution, gambling, adultery, drinking alcohol, and gay sex.

The punishment was handed down Monday in Langsa city where dozens gathered to watch the pair get lashed, despite bans on crowds over coronavirus fears.The two hijab-wearing suspects were arrested in March along with five sex workers, who could also face a flogging if found guilty of violating Islamic law, said Aji Asmanuddin, head of Langsa’s Islamic sharia agency.Officials were struggling to crack down on the area’s booming online sex trade, he added.

“This is the first case in Langsa although we believe there are many of them out there,” Asmanuddin said.Rights groups have slammed public caning as cruel, and Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo has called for it to end.Subscribe to our newsletter and get news delivered to your mailbox.
