Police lashed a woman and her lover 140 times each for having sex outside marriage and drinking alcohol in a far-flung region of Indonesia on Thursday — one of the harshest punishments carried out in 25 years.
The brutal beating — with a rattan cane — caused the woman to sob and collapse in the region of Aceh, which is governed by strict Islamic laws.
The lovers were caned on their back in a public flogging. It is among the harshest sentences imposed since Sharia law was implemented in Aceh in 2001, the Agence France-Presse reported.

I bet they don’t do that again.
Coming soon to the UK.
And the Liberal outcry is ... crickets?
140 lashes each. Wow. Human rights groups are going to be up in arms about this.
Oh, wait. Those folks don’t dare to criticize Islam.
Never mind. Sorry I brought it up.
Interesting how the “police” are the ones meting out the punishment.
Singapore also uses caning as a punishment but it is only done after a proper trial and conviction, and appeal, and by specialists within the prison and under medical supervision. And of course no caning of women or minors.
Coming to New York City!
Actually, that city needs to learn marriage means something, as Democrats seem to not care.
They're hush about the FGM among Minnisomalian girls. Somali women don't tend to be promiscuous if there's no pleasure in it.
Remember, ALL cultures are equal, you bigots!
And the guy?
Forget that post. Yeah, the guy got it too.
Did she live?
Governed by strict Islamic laws.
A reminder to women who are pro Islam and what their husband/boyfriend is in agreement to.
All cultures are equal
Man, they were really living la Vida loca!
That should be "backs" plural. As in "beast with two backs".
Pity the Portuguese and Spanish never went into Aceh in force and put every mullah to the sword.
The answer to your question is in the article.
Neither will be coming anytime soon.
Too bad the Crusaders couldn’t project power all the way to Arabia. Mohammedanism is a curse upon the world wherever it goes.
That said ...
Adultery is also a curse upon the world ...
