Transgenders in Malaysia live in fear of arrest and abuse

[Rockheart]

Transgenders in Malaysia are harassed, arrested and abused for their lifestyle.

ARYANA had just returned to her home one night in June when Islamic-purity enforcers burst in, ransacking her apartment and arresting her for cross-dressing.

"Gay" sex is illegal with sentences up to 20 years. Transgenders can face 3 or more years in jail just for dressing
Muslim values have cause transgenders to be outcast in society.
They are harassed and abused by regular police and religious police.

Human rights watch has a 75 page study on the issue.
