A woman
kneels and grimaces as she is lashed with a cane for having unmarried
sex in an Indonesian province which is ruled under Sharia law in newly
released photographs.
The
images show women dressed in white and sitting with their heads bowed
as they wait their turn to be punished in Banda Aceh, Indonesia.
In
one photo, a woman can be seen kneeling on a red platform as her back
is whipped with a cane in front of guards and members of the public.
Aceh is the only province in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country that is allowed to implement Islamic Sharia law.
Although public whipping is a common punishment in the province, it is rare for women to be caned.
