Amnesty International is extremely concerned about the increasing hostility by the Indonesian authorities towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people in the country. The organisation calls on the authorities to respect its international human rights obligations and to end discrimination, threats and other harassment of individuals because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It must also publicly condemn attacks against LGBTI people, making clear that such violence is a criminal offence and will not be tolerated.
