Monday, July 01, 2024 - Four men have been brutally caned 42 times for consuming alcohol and breaking Sharia law on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia.
An executor was pictured canning four men in front of
Islamic court officials as people gathered on Monday, July 1.
Two of the convicts were dressed in white tunics, while the
other two wore red tops printed with the name of the district attorney's office
before they took their turn to receive their respective punishments.
The four Acehnese men received 19 to 42 lashes for
drinking alcohol, known as 'khamar' in Sharia law. A police officer with a
microphone oversaw the punishments.
The three men to receive the 42 lashes were named in the
local press as M. Fais Akbar, Aulia Syahputra, and Yusdi, while Cukri Ramadhan
received 19.
Before the punishment was out, all men underwent a health
check by a team of medics. They were all deemed ready to serve their sentence.
Kompas reported that the caning was paused for one of the
men after he groaned in pain after 10 lashes. He was given something to drink
by the medics, who also checked on his condition before the punishment
continued.
'Today, the execution of the caning sentence for four people convicted of violating khamar or being drunk has been completed,' said the Head of the Banda Aceh District Prosecutor's Office after the process.
