Shocking! Woman Flogged 23 Strokes of Cane for 'Standing Too Close to Her Boyfriend' (Photos)

The woman was flogged in the full glare of the public 

This is the moment a woman was given the flogging of her life for violating Islamic laws.

Heart-wrenching images have shown the young woman screaming in pain as she is flogged in front of a crowd of jeering people.


According to Daily Mail, the incident took place in an Indonesian province. The woman who is yet to be identified is seen screaming out in pain as she is caned 23 times in Indonesia's Aceh for breaking the province's strict Islamic law forbidding intimacy between unmarried couples.

Aceh is the only province in Indonesia that enforces sharia law and people face floggings for a range of offences, including gambling, drinking alcohol and gay s*x.

She was one of 13 people - aged between 21-30 - to be flogged on Monday at a mosque. Her only offence was that she was allegedly caught standing too close to her boyfriend.
