“This is a pattern by authorities ... it is their tactics,“ said Afifi, president of the Pelangi Campaign group, which seeks to raise awareness and advocate for LGBT rights in the Southeast Asian nation. He also criticised government rhetoric over LGBT people’s involvement in a march to celebrate International Women’s Day.
