| Subject: Statists spreading savagery: Stoning penalty for Aceh adultery Tue Sep 15, 2009 5:13 am | |
| MUSLIMS who commit adultery in Indonesia's semi-autonomous province of Aceh could be stoned to death after the provincial parliament last night passed laws expanding Islamic law.
The new laws, which also include multiple lashings in public for those caught having pre-marital sex, were opposed by women's groups and the province's governor, and were rammed through just weeks before a new, far more moderate parliament was to be convened.
The laws also include new punishments for consuming alcohol, rape, pedophilia and homosexuality, although none are as tough as the gruesome death penalty for adulterers.
