i'm incredibly sad to bear this news, but today there is another victim of queerphobia attack, this time in another city (Palu).
victim was followed by 3 strangers while going to a public toilet in a cafe, sexually assaulted and got kicked around the legs and thighs multiple times (bruise marks provided in picture below)
victim wasn't alone, two of their friends was being pushed from a motorcycle, their heads was beaten and they're also threatened with murder. it wasn't the first experience for the victim, unfortunately. they also got kicked out of their boarding house and got spit by people around them.
meanwhile, in the city of Bogor (the same city where trans women get attacked yesterday), these "Boti Hunter" are not backing down, instead they're planning a more mobalized attack against queer people and encouraging others to bring rotten eggs and urine.
please, i beg non indonesians to keep spreading this information, let people know about what's happening to indonesian queers.
writing this while a little bit shaking, so please excuse any errors.

Lihat perempuan lesbian = perkosa biar "balik" normal.
Lihat gay/trans people = layak dibunuh. Bully, pukul, biar kapok, biar musnah.

Multiple Indonesian trans women were beaten, kicked, and doused with urine during a violent attack on the streets while trying to survive amid systemic poverty.
We urge international media, human rights organizations, and the global community to help ensure this incident receives the international attention it deserves and to demand accountability, as violence against transgender people in Indonesia continues to raise serious human rights concerns.
