A leading Malaysian lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activist has accused the authorities of intimidation after a statement he read to the UN Human Rights Council led to him being questioned by police.
"This is a pattern by authorities... it is their tactics," said Numan, president of the Pelangi Campaign group, which seeks to raise awareness and advocate for LGBT rights in Malaysia. He also criticised government rhetoric over LGBT people's involvement in a march to celebrate International Women's Day.of LGBT groups at the march, calling it"an abuse of democracy".The minister's statement came amid concerns over growing persecution of the LGBT community in the Muslim-majority Malaysia, where sodomy and other same-sex acts are outlawed.
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad denounced the punishment but said Malaysia could not accept same-sex marriage or LGBT rights. Despite the current climate, Numan said an anti-discrimination law to protect LGBT people within the workplace and anti-bullying campaigns in schools were now achievable.

You advocate the rights of the LGBT community right? Then advocate also for the rights of prostitutes to be who they are, to have brothels build anywhere, free sex. And you call yourself a Muslim? Shame on you, and shame on us, for knowing that you are a Muslim.
