Muslim Women Publicly Whipped For Having Unmarried S*x
Photographs which show women and men dressed in white and sitting with their heads bowed as they wait their turn to be punished for having unmarried sex in Banda Aceh, Indonesia have just been released.
Three women and 14 men arrested for sexual offences and gambling were caned in front of a mosque following Friday prayer. In one photo, a woman can be seen kneeling on a red platform as her back is whipped with a cane in front of guards and members of the public. Further images show men also being punished.
According to DailyMail, Aceh is the only province in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country that is allowed to implement Islamic Sharia law. Although public whipping is a common punishment in the province, it is rare for women to be caned.
Earlier this year, Banda Aceh banned women from entertainment venues after 11pm unless they are accompanied by a husband or male family member. Aceh district has also banned unmarried men and women from riding together on motorbikes. Gay sex, gambling and drinking alcohol are already punishable by caning in Aceh.
In June, pictures emerged of three couples being publicly caned after the unmarried university students were caught spending time alone together. On that occasion, a crowd of about a thousand spectators shouted as the three men and three women, aged between 18 and 23, were lashed several times each with a rattan cane in a square in Banda Aceh.
A fourth woman, aged in her 40s, was also publicly caned for committing adultery. One of the women fainted after being caned four times and had to be carried off by officials. Continue to see more below...

Man Slices P*nis Of Lawyer Who Has Been Sleeping With His Wife, Then Flushed It Down A Toilet
Police in Japan have arrested a man accused of bursting into a lawyer's office and cutting off his p*nis with garden shears before flushing it down a toilet.
Media reports said Ikki Kodukai, a 24-year-old Tokyo graduate student, may have carried out the horrifying act in revenge over his wife's romantic involvement with the 42-year-old victim.
Police said Kodukai, who was arrested shortly after the alleged attack, punched the unnamed lawyer several times before prying off his pants and then severing his 'lower body part' with the shears.
It is not the first time a p*nis has ended up down a toilet as a result of a s3xual encounter. In Peru in 2012 a jealous wife sliced off her husband's p*nis and flushed it away.

Photo : Man Sets Himself on Fire Outside Embassy
The mind on some people though! An 81 year old South Korean man identified simply as Choi set himself on fire this morning Wednesday, August 12th outside the Japanese embassy in Seoul during a large protest over Japan's forced recruitment of sex slaves to service military brothels during World War II.
Other protesters tried to douse the fire with blanket and bottled water before emergency services arrived. He was eventually removed to an ambulance and rushed to the hospital. Fortunately his condition is not critical and he is expected to recover eventually.
The protest on Wednesday drew close to 1,000 protestors to the embassy ahead of Saturday's 70th anniversary of the end of Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule over the Korean peninsula. Although Japan insists the issue was settled in the 1965 bilateral agreement that restored diplomatic ties between the two nations, which saw Tokyo make a total payment of $800 million in grants or loans to its former colony, South Korea says Japan has still not done enough to atone for the forced recruitment of South Korean women to work in Japanese military brothels as so-called "comfort women".
The issue has strained relations between South Korea and Japan for years with South Korean President Park Geun-Hye saying there can be no meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe until Japan makes full amends.
Self-immolation in South Korea was common during the pro-democracy movement of the 1980s and early-90s, when a number of student activists set themselves on fire during public demonstrations. A 56-year-old disabled man died after setting himself on fire in a dispute with his landlord five months ago.

Forget Game Of Thrones, Lawyer Demands Trial By Combat
Popular HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones has quickly reached cult status. When you think about its viewership, it seems absurd that anyone hasn’t at least seen part of the series, if not all of it.
But in certain scenarios, some fans are taking their obsessions a little too far. This time around a super fan has decided to use what he learned in the series at his day-to-day job. And things become even more ridiculous when you realize he is an attorney demanding a literal battle to the death.
The Staten Island lawyer, Richard A. Luthmann is channeling his inner Game of Thrones in a recent case, asking a judge to sanction a trial by combat to resolve a civil suit.
What makes this even more insane is that trial by combat has never actually been outlawed in the U.S. or in New York State. According to a local publication Staten Island Advance the lawyer has been accused of helping a client commit fraud in a civil suit. His response is that the suit is ludicrous, so why not fight fire with fire? In a brief filed to the state Supreme Court Luthmann wrote:
The allegations made by plaintiffs, aided and abetted by their counsel, border upon the criminal. As such, the undersigned (Luthmann) respectfully requests that the court permit the undersigned to dispatch plaintiffs and their counsel to the Divine Providence of the Maker for Him to exact His divine judgment once the undersigned has released the souls of the plaintiffs and their counsel from their corporeal bodies, personally and or by way of a champion.
In the event that this case is not dismissed, Luthmann seeks trial by combat. And as we’ve seen in Game of Thrones this can take place by either the disputant or a stand-in. In his request, Luthmann details the history of trial by combat including how it was never banned by the Constitution in the U.S. or in the state of NY. The lawyer has acknowledged that this move could hurt his career, and that the judge may not be happy with this request, but he is prepared to take it to the highest level, as a right under the constitution.
The guy may sound crazy, but detailing the history of trial by combat in over 10 pages is not a task to be taken lightly. Luthmann sounds serious about his request, and we’ll just have to see how far this match goes. Can you imagine an event like this actually taking place today? Hopefully it doesn’t end quite as graphically as that Game of Thrones scene.

"This is the first time in my 22 years of service in the police that I have seen such a case where a girl was raped in this way and found hanging from a tree. We have heard of such cases in India but never in Pakistan. The girl's clothes were torn. We took her down and moved her to hospital. Her body had signs of resistance. We have arrested three individuals who have confessed o the crime" he said
Police said her parents spent all night looking for her and found her body hanging the next morning. Only last month, a similar case was recorded in India where two female cousins were gang raped and later killed, they were also left hanging from a tree.

Son Of Football Legend, Pele, Sentenced To 33-Years In Jail
A judge in Praia Grande, Sao Paulo, Brazil has sentenced Edson Cholbi do Nascimento aka Edinho, the third son of legendary Brazilian footballer Pele, to 33 years imprisonment for laundering money raised from drug trafficking.
Although, this is not the first time the 43 year old goalkeeping coach will be sent to jail for drug related issues. In 2005, Edson was arrested and served a sentence for drug trafficking offences and links with a notorious drug dealer in the city of Santos. Edson has denied the charges of money laundering but admits he has a problem with drugs.
He was convicted alongside four others including a man accused of controlling much of the drug trafficking in the region - Ronaldo Duarte Barsotti, known as Naldinho. Reports says he's most likely to appeal the judgement. Source

Shocking : 15-Year Old Girl Gang-R*ped By 38 Men After She Was Lured to Abandoned Hut
This is really depressing and so evil. According to reports, a Malaysian teenager was recently gang r*ped by up to 38 men in an abandoned hut used as a drug haunt, sparking another bout of international outrage just days after news went viral that two Indian sisters were gang-r*ped and hanged.
The horrendous assault took place in the northern state of Kelantan, Malaysia, on May 20. The girl is said to have met a friend, 17, before being lured to an empty hut - reported to be a drug haunt by local media. The men then allegedly took turns to r*pe the teen for several hours.
There are reports that the young girl's friend was an accomplice to the alleged rapists and police are investigating whether she too was also r*ped.
Thankfully, Malaysian police have arrested at least 13 people so far, including a father and his two sons, over the alleged incedent. All of the men are from the same village, as confirmed by the police. Source

OFFICIAL : Belgian Becomes First Country To Approve "Killing" Children
The Belgium Parliament has passed a bill allowing euthanasia for terminally ill children without any age limit.
The law was adopted by 86 votes to 44, with 12 abstentions.
After, as expected, the bill is signed by the king, Belgium will become the first country in the world to remove any age limit on the practice.
According to the new law, parents of terminally ill children who are in great pain can request euthanasia.
Parents, doctors and psychiatrists would have to agree before a decision is made.
Last week 160 Belgian paediatricians signed an open letter against the law, claiming that there was no urgent need for it and that modern medicine is capable of alleviating pain.
However, opinion polls have suggested broad support for the changes in Belgium, which is mostly Catholic.
