印尼一對男同性戀被判鞭刑85次
A Sharia court in Indonesia's Aceh province has sentenced two men to be caned in public for having gay sex.
由於發生同性性行爲，兩名男子被印度尼西亞亞齊省一家伊斯蘭法庭判處公開鞭刑。The men were found guilty of violating strict Islamic laws in conservative Aceh and will receive 85 lashes each.
他們違反了保守之地亞齊省嚴格的伊斯蘭法律，每人將會接受85次鞭刑。The pair, aged 20 and 23, were found in bed together by vigilantes in March. They have not been identified.
這兩個人年齡分別爲20歲和23歲，於今年3月被義務警員發現共處一牀。現在他們的身份尚未公佈。
Gay sex is not illegal in the rest of muslim-majority Indonesia and this is its first such conviction. Aceh is the only province where Sharia is in force.
同性性行爲在以穆斯林爲主的印尼的其它地方並非非法，此次定罪尚屬首次。而亞齊是唯一一個執行伊斯蘭教法的省份。While the judges did not give the maximum punishment of 100 lashes, the sentence is heavier than the 80 lashes asked for by the prosecution.
雖然法官們沒有給予最大程度的懲罰，即100鞭，但是這一判決比檢方要求的80鞭要重。Public caning sentences have been handed down previously only for gambling and drinking alcohol.
此前，公開鞭刑的判決只針對賭博和酗酒行爲。The harsh verdict has been condemned by human rights groups and activists.
據悉，這一嚴厲的判決已經受到了人權組織和積極分子的譴責。
