"Syahril has been transferred to the office of the Langsa administration, where he will hold no specific position."

Why does he have ANY "position"?

It's a sad thing when those who we trust that wear the badge can't be trusted.

This is not to say all police officers are bad, for they're not.

What is good about this case is the fact the ones responsible for this horrible act were brought up on charges and dismissed.

I know first hand of officers who have committed crimes, proven that they did, and nothing ever done about it.

Three police officers perjured themselves in court, proven that they did, and the judge never addressed the issue, let alone do anything to punish these law breakers.

In America it's said everyone can have their fair day in court, well, I have a saying and it is this

"THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE ANY FAITH IN OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM ARE ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE FAILED TO HAVE ANY DEALINGS WITH IT"

Then there was a police chief who was investigated for rape, that case was given a white wash, and he was allowed to leave the department with a retirement package in place.

Again justice was never served.

I had police officers trump up phony charges against me, lying in their police report, and here again nothing was done about it, even after it was proved that they did so.

The thing that bothers me most about acts such as this is that it not only paints other police officers as being corrupt, but the fact so many good men and women have and are going to war, giving their lives, hearts and souls to protect our freedoms, so that we can have a judicial system where citizens can go and have their grievances and wrongs against them righted, only to discover we are dealing with a corrupt system that seemingly only takes care of their own. The good ol'e boy factor if you will.

Justice is spelled... JUST-US!

There are so many in this country that are no just-us'es

How are we to raise our children, teaching them to believe in this system, that it is a just system when acts such as these go on!

Where is one to turn for justice anymore, please you tell me, cause i sure don't know.

The only constellation I have is knowing within myself that I am not alone and that in time I have learned to live with it, as difficult as it is, I live with it.

I also have a faith in my creator and know that we're living in times of Un -fairness and deceit, and that he in his own good time will usher in a new order, where those with with dark hearts will be dealt with justly.

In the meantime, peace be onto you.

" CAN YOU HEAR THE ANGELES CRYING "

If they cut hands off thieves, an appropriate punishment for the pigs that raped this poor women springs to mind...

I read this to my ex-Muslim girlfriend and she is still ranting 10 minutes later - in public - and I am hugging her in public. Don't the Syariah scum realise they are disaffecting the moderates from their own religion?

It really concerns me that such incident did not get enough coverage on national TV network, or even other newspaper for that matter, invisible cencorship?

Val, you're a wise person, now don't start judging a person by their comments on JG. Being muslim doesn't mean i have to start each comment with an assalamu'alaikum, does it?;)

Now these three fellows that have been accused are all married. If they are officially charged with a criminal offense and are found guilty they will get a jail sentence.

But since they are married is what they did not essentially adultery? Since they are part of the shariah Police force they should be also charged under this law ( which they were entrusted - read contracted- to enforce) should they not and as our friend abdullahalamudi states here if found guilty they should be stoned.

Jail them first and give them time to think about what they have done and then stone them.

Concerned - good for you!

It seems that once again we have the case of double standard here. The WH is imposing shariah law, however if someone inside WH is guilty, then the Indonesian positive law is imposed, meaning transferred to other post.

The aceh people needs to make up their mind, whether Syahril should be punished according to indonesian law (which is "transferred") or syariah law, which is i assume, beheaded?

"I cannot see anyone else in these postings who is a Muslim. Please correct me."

I am. Why?

abdullahalamudi - May I assume that you are a Muslim? If you are, then it makes me feel feel that, at least, some members of the Faith have the courage to "speak up" in open condemnation.

I cannot see anyone else in these postings who is a Muslim. Please correct me.

I am personally an anti-death penalty, but in this case of three Aceh shariah policemen gang raped a female student, I would like to see them punished according to shariah law -- buried to their necks and stoned to death -- by every passers by.

I am waiting to see in the news Aceh people beating the crap of the Shariah police. That would be the best news of the year.

golddust - in Aceh, something else always go along with the rice which makes them hallucinate. Hence, what's happening right now!

What's the favorite tune for many Acehnese?

clue: song made "puffing" popular by Peter, Paul and Mary in 1963.

“Now, you cannot see young people hugging their lovers on motorcycles or sitting close together in quiet places. Maybe this rape incident has served as a lesson to teach the public and parents to become more aware of the need to properly educate their children,” Syahril said.

I am speechless with the comment from this guy, I guess his brain had shrink out and gone from his head! Stupid!

Indonesian need to stop eating rice.that sticky food really stick in their brain and always cloud their judgment.

I was going copy and paste the obvious outrageous statement from above and comment on it, but note that several others have already done so.

Why is it that most civilised human beings across the world can see the hypocrisy of people such as these in Aceh who promote Sharia, but even under such strong condemnation they persist and continue to promote its virtue? As far as Indonesia is concerned, is it not time that Islamic leaders loudly condemned what is practised in Aceh?

stupid as always... i'd like a referendum to expel aceh from Republic of Indonesia. i don't like the idea of having a 7th-century arab based states in Indonesia.

There is no 'lesson' in this rape other than highlighting the need to scrap this rampant hypocrisy called 'Shariah Law'...a good Muslim needs no law to make him so.

Wrong headline!! He is not fired but removed from his post. Now he is receiving his salary without having to weork for it. Sound more like a reward than punishment!
