Taking down Azwan Ismail's video for his safety

Seksualiti Merdeka telah memutuskan untuk menurunkan video Azwan Ismail "Saya gay, Saya OK". Kami membuat ini demi keselamatannya kerana nwayanya telah diancam oleh pelbagai komen dan blog, dan pihak berkuasa keagamaan juga telah dilaporkan hendak mengambil tindakan ke atasnya. Kami kesal bahawa setakat ini tidak ada pihak berkuasa yang telah mengecam ancaman keganasan. Seksualiti Merdeka akan terus berjuang untuk hak-hak LGBT, iaitu minoriti yang terpinggir, disalahfahami dan mudah diancam di Malaysia. Jika anda perlu hubungi kami, anda boleh emel seksualiti.merdeka@gmail.com atau lawat laman web kami: www.seksualitimerdeka.org. Mungkin tidak semua orang memahami sekarang. Tapi ada juga yang faham. Terima kasih.

Seksualiti Merdeka has decided to take down Azwan Ismail's video "Saya gay, saya okay". We are doing this for his safety as his life has been threatened by various comments and blogs, while the religious authorities have also been reported as saying they plan to charge him. We regret that so far nobody in authority has denounced the threats of violence. Seksualiti Merdeka will keep standing for the rights of the marginalised, misunderstood and vulnerable community of LGBTs in Malaysia. If you need to contact us, you may email seksualiti.merdeka@gmail.com or check our website: www.seksualitimerdeka.org. Maybe not everyone understands now. But there are those who do. Thank you.
