Indonesian police have arrested 141 men attending what they called a “gay sex party” at a sauna in the capital Jakarta late on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Police said attendees, including a Briton and a Singaporean, paid 185,000 rupiahs ($14; \u00a310) to attend.<\/p>\n

Indonesia has witnessed increasing hostility towards its small and low-profile LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n

Homosexuality is not illegal under Indonesian law, except in conservative Aceh province.<\/p>\n

But Jakarta police spokesman Raden Argo Yuwono said some of those detained could be charged under Indonesia’s harsh anti-pornography laws.<\/p>\n

“There were gay people who were caught strip-teasing and masturbating in the scene,” he told BBC Indonesian.<\/p>\n

Under the ambiguously-worded laws, putting on a live strip show for the enjoyment of the public could be construed as “pornography”.<\/p>\n

Last week, two men were sentenced to public caning in Aceh after being convicted for engaging in gay sex – in the first such ruling since tough anti-homosexuality laws were introduced there in 2014.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Indonesian police arrested 14 people in the city of Surabaya for allegedly holding a gay party. They could also face charges under anti-pornography laws.<\/p>\n
