According to foreign media such as The Straits Times, an open assault was carried out at a park in Banda Aceh, Aceh, Indonesia on the 4th (local time).
The unmarried men and women, who were found to have had sex three times, received 100 units of whip 10 times each on the same day. Three people accused of gambling and drinking also received a total of 49 bullets.
Aceh Province is an area where Sharia law (Islamic law) applies in Indonesia, and gambling and drinking are subject to punishment as well as out-of-wedlock sex.
Vanda Aceh Mayor Iliza Saaduddin Jamal "We're executing out-of-wedlock sex, alcohol and online gambling offenders"This is a moral lesson for the community, and on the way to repentance"
Medical staff were waiting at the place where the taehyung took place on this day, and the punishment was carried out after checking the health condition.
International human rights groups strongly criticize Taehyung as a harsh punishment.
However, residents of Aceh strongly support the punishment as sanctions that violate social norms.
In February of this year, two men were sentenced to more than 150 years old for having same-sex sex, and two couples were also punished for having sex outside of marriage last year.
Aceh State began applying the Sharia law after it was granted special autonomy in 2001.
The incident is rekindling controversy over the application of Sharia law and human rights issues in Indonesia.
