Police give punks forced haircuts in ‘re-education’

DOZENS of young punk rock concert-goers had their heads shaved and body piercings confiscated after police in Indonesia said they were a threat to Islamic values.

They were also stripped of dog-collar necklaces and chains and then thrown in pools of water for “spiritual” cleansing, police chief Iskandar Hasan said.

After replacing their “disgusting” clothes, he handed each a toothbrush and barked “use it”.
