In a country were being LGBT is illegal, this isn't looking good for those men or the other 200 they arrested. Not looking forward to reading the news in a few days when the other reports come out. I wish the US would take a stronger stance against these human rights violations, but when until we have wide-spread acceptance and rights here, that won't happen. Sad day indeed.
