Charity concert turns into a lesson for punk- rock fans...
In a shocking move, the Indonesian police arrested 64 punk- rock fans in the city of Banda Aceh. The arrests took place at a charity concert on 10 December 2011 when Shari’a (Islamic law) Police intervened. Aceh police chief Ins. Gen. Iskandar Hasan has a punishment planned. “There will be a traditional ceremony. First their hair will be cut. Then they will be tossed into a pool. The women’s hair we’ll cut in the fashion of a female police officer. Then we’ll teach them a lesson.” He added “We’ll change their disgusting clothes. We’ll replace them with nice clothes. We’ll give them toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, sandals and prayer gear.”
While no official charges have been filed, the 64 fans will be ‘re-educated’.
