The two men, ages 20 and 21, were arrested in April after residents saw them entering the same bathroom at a park in Indonesia and reported it to police.

An Islamic Shariah court in Indonesia's conservative Aceh province sentenced two men to public caning 80 times each after Islamic religious police caught them engaged in what the court deemed sexual acts.

Monday’s verdict was the fifth time that Aceh has sentenced people to public caning for homosexuality since the Islamic law was implemented in 2015 as a concession made by the government to end a long-running separatist rebellion.
