Civil society organizations demand that Kelantan authorities retract their characterization of a June 2025 health outreach program as an illicit gathering. Justice for Sisters spearheads the coalition challenging police descriptions that labeled the event a sexual party rather than legitimate medical assistance. The organizations assert that media coverage following the incident created damaging narratives that discourage LGBTQ individuals from accessing essential healthcare services. Police statements contained stigmatizing language and inappropriate revelations about participants' medical information. The coalition documents numerous procedural violations during the enforcement action.
Medical professionals conducted HIV education sessions, distributed protective materials, and offered voluntary screenings from evening until midnight. Drug tests administered to all participants returned negative results, while investigators discovered no evidence supporting allegations of inappropriate conduct. Authorities arrested three individuals based on personal device content, which advocates characterize as fabricated accusations. These programs serve populations identified by health officials as difficult to reach through conventional medical channels. The initiative supports national disease prevention objectives established by government health agencies.
