A 19-year-old Indonesian man, collapsed and begged for mercy as he was flogged nearly 150 times on Thursday, November 26, for raping a child in a province where public whipping is a common punishment for violating Islamic law.
According to the Daily Mail, the suspect grimaced and cried out as a masked sharia officer lashed his back with a rattan stick in the town of Idi. He pleaded for the punishment to stop and was briefly treated by doctors before the flogging restarted.
