As reported in today's Australian Herald Sun Newspaper , the Indonesian Government is to debate a new set of laws in the near future to adopt more stringent sharia laws across the country (note some of these are already in place in some Indonesian States).
The laws would:
1. Ban the sale of alcohol in Supermarkets
2. Forbid any public intimacy between unmarried couples
3. Outlaw all GLBT activities with anyone caught engaging or suspected of engaging to be sentenced to mandatory "medical rehabilitation" (in Iran - also subject to such Sharia Law, this means mandatory GRS for all males identified as Gay) and Hormone treatment for Lesbian women.
The Islamic Indonesian Ulema Council ruled that transgender persons must live in the gender that they were born with. "If they are not willing to cure themselves medically and religiously", said a Council member, they must be willing "to accept their fate to be ridiculed and harassed.
