Malaysia urged to stop transgender arrests - Asia-Pacific - Al Jazeera English: "Malaysia's transgender population faces systematic repression, harassment and mistreatment, and the government must immediately repeal laws that criminalise their lifestyles, Human Rights Watch has said.
On Thursday, the US-based group released a report it says details worsening abuses that transgender people face in the Southeast Asian nation.
They include arrest, assault and extortion by authorities, public shaming of transgender people by forcing them to strip off their women's clothing in public, and barriers to healthcare, employment and education."
