Woman lashed 140 times for having sex outside marriage, drinking booze in far-flung Islamist region

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.

The pair received 100 hits for pre-marital sex, and 40 for consuming alcohol which is banned.

Officials could be seen escorting the collapsed woman on a stretcher to a nearby ambulance after the brutal beating in Aceh, the only place in Indonesia where Sharia law stands.
