Dozens of punk rockers in Indonesia were arrested and had their mohawk shaved by security officials last December.

They were also forced to undergo a so-called re-education programme in Aceh, the only province in Indonesia with Islamic law.

But now the punks are back on the streets in what they say is their way to protest against corruption and what they consider injustice.
