A Malaysian court has reportedly ordered a review of the caning sentence given to a woman caught drinking beer.
The main judge at Pahang’s Islamic court put the caning on hold pending the review, saying the sentence was “too extreme”, the Star newspaper said.
If the sentence is enforced, Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno will be the first woman to be caned in the country.
Now I dont quite understand what is going on. Was she going to be caned because she was a women drinking beer, was it the act of a Muslim drinking beer, or was it because she was drinking beer in public?
Can anyone explain?
