The local Islamic Criminal Code was passed by the Aceh Indonesian Provincial House of Representatives on Monday, September 14. It forbids and therefore, cruelly punishes a number of acts including alcohol consumption, gambling, premarital sex and fornication, adultery and homosexuality.

According to the legislation, “Any person deliberately performing homosexuality or lesbianism is threatened with up to 100 cane lashes and a maximum fine of 1,000 grams of fine gold, or imprisonment of up to 100 months,” reports the Associated Press.

The most severe punishment defined in the document is reserved for adultery, for which the law calls for death by stoning. The legislature of the province of Aceh passed the law despite objections from Aceh’s executive body and human rights organizations. While the majority of Indonesians practice a moderate form of Islam, Aceh has historically been a more conservative region. In 2001, the federal government allowed Aceh to replace Indonesia’s criminal code with Sharia, the body of Islamic religious law.

Though the law passed the legislative branch, the executive body says it will not enforce the harsh punishments. “It’s final that the Aceh administration would not enforce stoning for Islamic Sharia law violators. In Islam, the law must protect its citizens’ human rights,” Aceh vice governor Muhammad Nazar said to The Jakarta Post. Despite such kind of statements, the code takes effect in 30 days. Local and international human rights organizations are concerned by the fact and they call Indonesian authorities for urgent repeal of the laws criminalizing adultery and homosexuality
