A man and a transgender woman were arrested in Banda Aceh, Indonesia for allegedly engaging in intimate acts in a beauty salon.
Banda Aceh has a record of poor human rights and discrimination particularly since it was granted special autonomy in 2001 to be ruled by Islamic law.
The pair, who deny the allegations made against them, face charges under Article 26 of Aceh sharia law which carries a punishment of 100 lashes.
