ACEH, INDONESIA — A young college student in Indonesia was publicly caned for indecency on Monday in the courtyard of Baiturrahman mosque in Banda Aceh.

According to the Jakarta Post, Nur Elita, 20, was punished under Sharia law for being in close proximity to a male university student, Wahyudi Saputra, 23, because he was not her husband or her relative.

On the day of Elita's public caning, crowds including women were heard cheering as she walked on stage. Elita was forced to kneel before she was caned five strokes. Her friend Wahyudi was forced to stand while being caned five strokes.

"Take these punishments as a lesson. What has been done by these convicts should not be taken as an example. And I hope their canings in Meuraxa district today will be the last ever," Deputy Mayor Zainal Arifin was quoted as saying in the Jakarta Post article.

Indonesia's conservative Aceh province implemented a Sharia-based law system in 2003 after becoming a special autonomous region after a long period of revolt against Indonesia.

Morality police patrol Aceh looking for anyone, especially women, who may be violating Sharia law.
