Condoms and mobile phones were among the items confiscated by police as two Indonesian men were arrested for running an LGBTIQ+ Facebook page.
The arrests were made in Bandung, West Java, and mark Indonesia's "first case of criminalisation of homosexual hangouts on social media", according to The Straits Times.
The Facebook page in question is thought to have been setup to help members of the local LGBTIQ+ community arrange meet-ups.
“They connect and match-make people who want to make same-sex friendships,” the police’s special crimes deputy director, Adjutant Chief Commander Hari Brata said in a statement.
He added: “So far, we’re still developing.”
Channel News Asia reported that the individuals were facilitating the organisation of various same-sex services and charged with breaking local electronic information law by creating and transmitting pornographic content, a crime that could see the men face six years' imprisonment.
