Locals in Wa have publicly flogged a guy and a young lady who became famous after a leaked pornographic film was shared on social media.
They were paraded in front of the Wa Naa's Palace courtyard on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, and cut by a gang.
The young girl promoted herself as a professional sex worker who conducted hook-ups, according to many eyewitness testimonies.
The problem was brought to the attention of the elders in Wa, who agreed that if they came across any more of these recordings, they should search for and deal with the persons who were behind it, as such acts are prohibited in Islam.
The purpose was to deter other Wa youth from committing similar actions.
When the girl's video went popular on social media, the kids went after her and paraded her down the street to flog her on Tuesday afternoon.
