in #CASE you missed it… Female Flogging Squad Unveiled

Indonesia has unveiled its first female flogging squad and they punished their first victim

Indonesia has gone ahead and showcased their very first all-female flogging squad recently as more and more women in the region are being charged with morality crimes.

Pictures surfaced showing one of the new female recruits doling out punishment to an unmarried woman that was caught in a hotel room with a man. Such behavior constitutes a morality crime in Aceh, the only region in the world's biggest Muslim-majority nation that imposes Islamic law - known as Sharia. Those found guilty of breaches are often publicly whipped with a rattan cane.

Men have always been the ones to issue the public flogging until recently. With more and more women breaking these laws, officials have recruited more and more women to dish out these punishments. Eight women -- all Sharia officers -- agreed to be floggers and were trained in the appropriate technique and advised how to limit injury.
