An Indonesian man who worked for a clerical organization that advised local government on drafting Islamic adultery laws has been publicly caned after he was caught having an affair with a married woman.
Mukhlis bin Muhammad, a member of the Aceh Ulema Council (MPU), received 28 strikes from a cane in a public park on Oct. 31 by a religious officer. The religious group helped write the local government’s anti-adultery law.
