A young woman has pictured being caned in public for engaging in sexual relations with another person beside her husband.
The young woman acccused of having extra-marital affair was brought
to the public stage in Banda Aceh, Indonesia and forced down on to her
knees by two guards.
A masked man then repeatedly canes her across the back as she
clenches her fists and appears to bite her veil while receiving her
punishment.
The woman can also been seen crying out in agony, and after the
punishment is over, she has to be led away on a stretcher for treatment.
A public caning is just one of the punishments handed out to people
breaking Sharia law in Banda Aceh, the only province in Indonesia,
where it is still followed closely.

After her punishment is over, the young woman is so weak she has to be carried from the stage on a stretcher
Sharia law is the legal system of Islam which is derived from both the Koran and the rulings of the religion's scholars.
It acts as a code that all Muslims are adhered to live to and
include rules of prayers, fasting and donations to the poor and covers
both public and private behaviour.
