An Indonesian Aceh province sharia policeman (R) stops motorists for wearing jeans and the manner the woman (C) is sitting on the motorbike in Aceh Besar, Aceh province, on May 10, 2016. The province on northern Sumatra island has banned Muslim women from wearing figure-hugging clothing such as tight trousers and women passengers must sit side-saddle on motorbikes under Islamic by-laws that have outraged less conservative parts of the mainly Muslim archipelago. Aceh is the only province in the predominantly Muslim country that applies sharia law, and public canings for breaches of Islamic code happen on a regular basis and often attract huge crowds.
