Indonesian Man Flogged After Breaking Adultery Law He Helped Draw Up 😮

The province of Aceh in Indonesia practices Sharia law. One of the groups that helped draft those laws and now oversees their implementation across the province is the Aceh Ulema Council (abbreviated MPU in their language). Mukhlis bin Muhammad is one of the MPU’s members. According to local news reports, which were picked up by global outlets, Mukhlis was caught with another woman, then punished with a public flogging that included 28 lashes with a cane. The couple were caught by officials in September, apparently in a car parked near a tourist beach. The caning happened on Thursday. Mr Husaini added that Mukhlis would be expelled from the MPU. The 46-year-old is also an Islamic religious leader. He is the first religious leader to be publicly caned in Aceh since Sharia law came into force in 2005.
