Ariana News Agency- 

A woman is whipped by a sharia police officer. Three couples were publicly flogged, charged with breaking local Islamic law that bans public displays of affection. Despite international condemnation, whipping is a common punishment for a range of offences in the deeply conservative region, Banda Aceh, Indonesia.
