BANDA ACEH - Aceh Tamiang District Attorney's Office (Kejari) executed a caning sentence for ten convicts violating the jinayat law in the form of gambling in this case online gambling.
"Today we executed 10 convicts of gambling (maisir) who were sentenced to various lashes between six and nine times. All of them were dominated by online gambling," said the Head of the Aceh Tamiang Kejari, Yudhi Syufriadi, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, November 17.
The caning procession which took place in public at the yard of the Karang Baru Islamic Center, Aceh Tamiang was also attended by elements of the Aceh Tamiang Forkopimda, related SKPK Heads and high school students.
Yudhi stated that although uqubat caning has been carried out several times, the violation of Islamic law every year in local districts is not shrinking, it is even increasing.
According to him, the caning in front of the general public seems to have not caused a deterrent effect, even though this execution has an important value, namely providing lessons so that people do not do these acts again.
"But the fact is that there are still many people who commit violations. This is what has just been discovered today, there are 10 convicts. But maybe there are still many common problems/cases. Islamic Sharia violations should be getting smaller and even zero," he said.
Throughout 2025, the Public Prosecutor's Office of Aceh Tamiang has carried out caning executions twice, including having been held at the local Kejari yard with five convicts. Thus, the total number of violators who have been executed this year's caning is 15 people.
"But we also need to evaluate whether it is our fault in enforcing the law, or whether the crime is not so harsh or not so cruel that people seem to be playing around with this," said Kajari.
This means, he continued, that preventive/prevention measures that have been carried out so far have not gone well, because when law enforcement is carried out in a successful manner, the repressive implementation will not occur.
"We hope that the people of Aceh Tamiang in particular do not commit legal acts that violate Islamic law, so that it does not have an impact on all of us, which until today we are still taking preventive action," said Yudhi Syufriadi.
The head of the Aceh Tamiang Islamic Sharia (DSI) Office, Syamsul Rizal, said that violations of Islamic law have so far been dominated by cases of gambling/judies, followed by cases of khamar/miras and adultery.
"This is the last execution in 2025 with 10 convicts, all related to gambling," said Syamsul Rizal.
