Amid
the pitiless heat and humidity of the afternoon, a slight young woman screams
in agony as she is thrashed repeatedly with a cane. Her face becomes a
mask of pain and humiliation until she collapses forward on to the ground,
clutching pitiably at her shoulder.Her ‘crime’ was to have been found in the
company of a fellow undergraduate who was a man but was not a relation.Miss
Elita, who was dwarfed by the sinister police officer who was to carry out the
punishment, was first made to kneel. A rattan cane at least 4ft long had been
formally handed to the masked officer.
The
policeman beat Miss Elita between her shoulder blades, the cane swishing and
bending in the air with the force of the blows. After the fifth strike,
she fell forward to the floor. In obvious pain and distress, she had to be
carried - by four uniformed women in headscarves - from the scaffold and taken
by ambulance to hospital.
After
her ordeal, the 23-year-old man with whom she was alleged to have breached
Sharia law was also beaten, as were four other locals convicted of gambling.
