Two men may be in line for up to 100 lashes of the cane after being caught having sex in Indonesia's Shariah-ruled province of Aceh. The province is the only one allowed to impose Shariah after a change in the law.


:facepalm :headdesk
The new code allows up to 100 lashes for morality offenses including gay sex, adultery, gambling, drinking alcohol, the wearing of tight clothes by women and skipping Friday prayers in the case of men.

Deforestation

#^Deforestation in Borneo - Wikipedia
Borneo, the third largest island in the world, divided between Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei, was once covered with dense rainforests, but along with its tropical lowland and highland forests, there has been extensive deforestation since the 1960s, as the native economies of the region experienced rapid industrialisation. In the 1980s and 1990s the forests of Borneo underwent a dramatic transition. They were levelled at a rate unparalleled in human history, burned, logged and cleared, and commonly replaced with agricultural land, or palm oil plantations. Half of the annual global tropical timber acquisition currently comes from Borneo. Furthermore, palm oil plantations are rapidly encroaching on the last remnants of primary rainforest. Much of the forest clearance is illegal.

Vielfalt macht Spaß – Malam Gembira Ria 2016

Indonesischer Kulturabend mit Vortrag der Referentin Hendra Pasuhuk über die kulturelle Vielfalt Indonesiens, Livemusik von Bonnindo, Tanzvorführung der balinesischen Tanzgruppe Bajali Bonn sowie Präsentationen der indonesischen Kampfkunst „Pencak Silat“ der Gruppen Tapak Suci und Silat Perisai Diri. Darüber hinaus gibt es die Möglichkeit eine Auswahl der vielfältigen indonesischen Küche kennenzulernen und zu probieren. Die Veranstaltung wird gefördert vom MIGRApolis House of Resources Bonn.
Wann?: Samstag, 17.12.2016, 18.00 bis 22.00 Uhr
Wo?: MIGRApolis-Haus der Vielfalt, Brüdergasse 16-18, Bonn;
MIGRApolis-Cafe im Erdgeschoss (barrierrefrei)


Dieses "Kampfkunst" Zeugs verstehe ich überhaupt nicht und vor allem nicht mit Waffen. War schon irritierend zu sehen wie der Angegriffene dem Angreifer einen Dolch abnimmt und dabei gleich mal an die Schlagader am Handgelenk vorbeigeht und an der Halsschlagader dann seine Bewegung beendet. Und Kinder mit Waffen dann was vorführen zu lassen fand ich noch mehr befremdlich.
