Aceh outrage over Miss Indonesia

Clerics in Indonesia's conservative Muslim province of Aceh say they are outraged that an Acehnese woman has won the title of Miss Indonesia. Qori Sandioriva, 18, won the Miss Indonesia title on Friday, beating 37 other contestants for the crown.

Aceh has special autonomy in Indonesia and has implemented partial Sharia law. [BBC] Read more
