TikTok kiss triggers public caning under Aceh's Sharia law

In Banda Aceh, Indonesia, a 22-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were publicly caned 21 lashes each after allegedly kissing during a TikTok livestream, a punishment under Aceh's Sharia-based morality code; their four-month detention preceded the sentence, which was reduced from 25 lashes, and authorities confiscated a cellphone and USB containing the video; human rights groups criticize the public caning, while officials defend it as a deterrent; Aceh is the only Indonesian province enforcing its own Islamic criminal code, with moral offenses that can carry up to 100 lashes.

TikTok Kiss Triggers Public Caning in Aceh Under Sharia Law

In Aceh, Indonesia’s only province enforcing Sharia law, a 22-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman were publicly caned 21 times each for kissing during a TikTok livestream, with about 100 witnesses; the sentence was reduced from 25 lashes after four months in prison, and evidence from the livestream was seized for destruction. Four other people were caned for online gambling and adultery. Amnesty International condemned the punishment as cruel and a human rights violation, highlighting concerns over penalizing social media activity under religious law.
