A gay couple was publicly flogged over 80 times outside of a mosque in Banda Aceh, Indonesia on Friday for having gay sex.

Indonesia is a Muslim majority country, and under Sharia law, it is illegal to be homosexual and have gay sex. While gay sex is not illegal throughout the rest of Indonesia, the gay community in Indonesia faces extreme discrimination due to the fact that the country is majority Muslim. Under Islamic law, homosexuality is punishable by death, as stated in the Quran.

Nearly 15 other people were publicly flogged by the Sharia police on Friday for “crimes” of drinking, selling alcohol, and public display of affection.
