Tsunami 'punishment' for breaking Islamic law

Advertisement

The tiny community of Lampuuk in northern Indonesia was almost totally destroyed by the Boxing Day tsunami five years ago.

It used to be a popular tourist destination, but since the tsunami Sharia Law has been more rigorously enforced and police patrol the beaches to ensure visitors are appropriately dressed and acting in a demure way.

Tsunami: 5 Years On will be broadcast on Wednesday, 27 January, at 2100 GMT on BBC Two.

Or catch-up afterwards on BBC iPlayer (UK only).
