Two Indonesian men have been arrested for allegedly uploading a video of themselves having sex to social media, police said Tuesday, amid a crackdown on the LGBT community in the world’s biggest Muslim-majority nation. Police in Depok, a city in West Java province, arrested the men Saturday after a member of the public reported the “gay porn” video to authorities, police said. “We will apply the law on pornography and the electronic information and transactions (ITE) law.”Homosexuality and gay sex are legal everywhere in Indonesia except in conservative Aceh province, which is ruled by Islamic law. The community has also been targeted in a number of raids on “gay sex” parties in the country’s two largest cities Jakarta and Surabaya. Ten men were sentenced in December to two years in prison for taking part in what authorities called a “gay sex party” at a sauna.
