A woman collapsed during a brutal Sharia punishment after she was mercilessly flogged with a cane for having s3x with another man.

The shocking images are from the Indonesian city of Banda Aceh where the unnamed woman was whipped 17 times with a cane along with her partner.

An official, called an Algojo, carried out the beating dressed in a traditional brown gown and their face was covered by a domino-style mask, reported the Daily Star.

The woman receiving the lashings was wearing a long white cloak and head dress as she knelt down in front of the watching public.
