Punks are being chased down and arrested by police in the Indonesian province of Aceh. This has happened already twice, but the most recent assault from the Police took place during a caritative show given by Indonesian punks for orphelins.
Police raided the place and took with them 60 punks whom they sent out to a reeducation school to "put them back on the right moral path". The Punks were then shaved, being thrown in a river to wash down (strange method but there you go..) and given clothes more in relation with the moral dress code of the Sharia-driven province.

Aceh Human Rights Coalition's Evi Narti Zain accuses the Police to have been violent, beating the Punks and treated the teenagers like criminals and clearly human rights were violated.
The Aceh Police spokeman says the Punks weren't badly treated and that they will follow reeducation so their morals will match those of the other people in Aceh.
