A crowd gathered to witness the barbaric punishment that took place in the city of Banda Ace, in Indonesia’s Aceh province – where women are subject to strict local laws.

Public whippings such as these are common for crimes including gambling, drinking alcohol, having homosexual sex and having sex before marriage.

Many men in crowd can be seen looking delighted by the punishment and came to film or take photos of the spectacle as it happened.

The official whipping the women is reportedly known as ‘aogojo’ – he wore a masked hood and robe to cover his face and body completely.

Around 98 per cent of Banda Aceh’s residents are Muslim, but practices such as these have been highly condemned throughout the nation.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has called for public canings to come to an end.

The government of Aceh said in 2018 that all future canings would be carried out in prisons, but some local governments have continued the practice.

In these photos, two women can be seen escorting the terrified woman who is about to be whipped to the stage.

The trio look horrified and keep their heads down as they walk to the stage.

Crowds are held back by black barriers and fences, but they hold out mobile phones and film the whipping as it happens.
