"Operation Anti Moral Illness", Leads To 12 Transgender Women Jailed For 3 Days And Their Hair Cut

In Indonesia, police detain 12 transgender women, cutting their long hair and teaching them how to behave like men in the days they were being held.

Over the weekend several beauty salons were raided in the province of Aceh which led to the 12 transgender women going through the embarrassment and abuse.

Local Police Chief Ahmad Untung Surianata told the BBC: "We are holding them for three days to give them counselling and coaching. It's going well and now they are all acting like real men."

According to reports, the raid took place because neighbours were complaining about the bad influence they have on the children in that community.
