Overview

• Police carried out the June 22 operation at a private villa in Bogor’s Puncak area, detaining 74 men and one woman who remain held at Bogor Police Headquarters.
• Authorities say they seized items including sex toys, four condoms and a sword claimed to have been used in a dance performance.
• Those arrested face potential prison terms of up to 15 years under Indonesia’s broadly defined Pornography Law, which is often used to target LGBTQ+ people.
• This marks the third such crackdown in 2025 after similar raids on ‘gay sex parties’ in South Jakarta in February and May.
• Amnesty International’s deputy director Wirya Adiwena condemned the action as discriminatory and demanded the detainees’ immediate release along with accountability for alleged police human rights abuses.
