[QUOTE]According to [URL="http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=167253"]blabbermouth.net[/URL], police in Banda Aceh, the provincial capital and largest city in the province of Aceh, Indonesia, raided a punk rock concert Saturday (December 10), shaving the mohawks and stripping the punk-style garb from 64 concertgoers they detained because of the perceived threat to Islamic values. The arrestees were then taken to Aceh State Police School for "re-education."
Police chief Inspector General Iskandar Hasan described the punishment awaiting them when they reached the police school in the Seulawah hills, 62 kilometers east of he capital. "There will be a traditional ceremony," he said. "First their hair will be cut. Then they will be tossed into a pool. The women's hair we'll cut in the fashion of a female police officer. Then we'll teach them a lesson."
The police chief added that detainees' "disgusting" clothes will be replaced, and that they'll be given toothbrushes and shampoo and prayer gear. "I'll remind [police] not to breach human rights. We are oriented to educating our community, our nation. This is our country, too, right?" Hasan said.
Twenty-year-old punker, Fauzan, was quoted by the Associated Press as saying, [i]"Why? Why my hair?! We didn't hurt anyone. This is how we’ve chosen to express ourselves. Why are they treating us like criminals?"[/i]
Evi Narti Zain, executive director of the Aceh Human Rights Coalition, lambasted the authorities for their extreme actions.
"What is this education? The police's action is inconsistent because the punks did nothing wrong," Zain said. "Punk music is their way of expressing themselves. It is normal and is found all around the world. It's their right to express their freedom. There's nothing wrong with punk kids."[/QUOTE]

It was kind of a dick move, but reasonable.
The way they talk about cleaning them is disturbing.

Doesn't sound like the reaction of a punker to me.

as a punk sympathizer i'm pretty appalled by this oppressive shit but then again no-one should expect rebellion in a oppressive society to go easily.

One time I was at a punk show, and we had to throw a juggallo out for being a dick... He preceded to have sex with a blow up doll in the street out front.

Given it's Aceh it's surprising they didn't just round them up and kill them
Look what you have done Indonesia, you turned them into skinheads you silly.
Ahh man, those pics make the tone of this a lot sadder.

"We're balding and if we can't have hair, you can't have any either."
Good, punk kids in Indonesia are really huge dicks, they act emo - punk. They're like the Indonesian version of the British Chavs. I know this because I'm from Indonesia, hi.

Except chavs beat up emo's and punks?
Also who gives a fuck if they are dicks they still don't deserve that treatment.
Imagine if someone thought you and all of your friends were dicks and then cut off your hair and sent you to a reforment school
[editline]16th December 2011[/editline]
All those kids should start up a skinhead gang
I have a mohawk myself, wouldn't really want to lose that. The police is pretty wrong IMO.
I've said it before, and, at the risk of a million boxsis, I'll say it again:
Indonesia is weird. And apparently stuck thirty years back.
