INDONESIA'S ACEH TO EXCLUDE STONING ADULTERERS UNDER SHARIA LAW

Indonesia's staunchly Muslim Aceh province asked provincial lawmakers to hold off including stoning to death as a punishment for married adulterers in a new bill set to pass into law. "For the time being, we do not agree that stoning people to death should be included in the punishment for married adulterers," Aceh provincial secretary Husni Bahri Top said.
