Public Kissing Banned in Indonesia

A BAN on kissing in public in Indonesia has been strengthened, with violators now facing up to 10 years in prison and fines of up to $42,590.

Unmarried couples are prohibited from cohabitation and authorities have the power to raid homes of those suspected of breaking the law under the code.
"As far as kissing (in public) or living together goes, these new laws go way too far," Indonesian women's rights activist Nursyahbani Katjasungkana said.
The ban extends to films, pictures and TV, meaning filming an on-screen kiss could be a criminal offence.

But hate-filled anti-American diatribes at Islamic mosques and schools are still ok. Australians looking forward to a ten year visit at an Indonesian prison can hardly wait to dump tourist dollars in Bali.

From the article:

In Amsterdam, a city known for its ebullient cultural life, local people say threats to painters have not been heard since the occupation by the Nazis during World War II.

Now the Dutch are occupied by Islamofacist brown shirts.
