By vanrozenheim
(Malaysia) - Police in Malaysia, where "sodomy" is a crime, have raided a Gay sex party and arrested 37 men, including a Briton. Police chief Azam Abdul Hamid said officers acting on a public tip-off had raided a fitness centre in northern Penang island on Sunday while a sex party was in progress. The men arrested were aged between 20 and 45. The operator of the premises could lose his business licence, while the men - who have now been released - could be charged with committing "unnatural sex acts". Homosexuality is not specified as a crime in Malaysia, but there is a law prohibiting "sodomy", which is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and whipping.
