Last December, Indonesian police officers in the province of Aceh clamped down on a benefit concert. Just before the bands went onstage, police shut down the event and arrested 65 people. Most of these were youths in their teens or early twenties.
Their crime? They were punks: adherents of a lifestyle that local governing authorities had deemed to be in contravention of Islamic Sharia law. Despite the fact that none of those arrested were ever charged with a crime, all 65 people were sentenced shortly after their detainment to 10 days of “re-education” in a police-run camp in the mountains.
