LGBT Life in Indonesia – level 2

18-10-2017 15:00

In Indonesia, people set up special police task forces to stop LGBT activities. Police recently arrested fifty-eight men after the groups attacked a sauna in Jakarta.

The men are accused of putting naked images on social media. Now they face up to 10 years in prison under the country’s pornography laws.

Homosexuality is legal in most of Indonesia, but a case in the country’s top court may change this.

Difficult words: task force (a group of policemen organised for a special operation), accuse (say that somebody did something illegal), case (something which the court will work on).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
