Aceh, a province of Indonesia, passed a new law making adultery punishable by stoning to death. The law, an ominous sign of creeping Sharia, also imposes severe sentences (up to 400 lashes) for homosexuality, alcohol consumption and gambling. Married people convicted of adultery can be sentenced to death by stoning. Unmarried people can be sentenced to 100 lashes with a cane. Human rights activists are condemning the new law as being cruel and degrading.
