Two men were arrested two days back for "homosexuality" in Sh Fokaidho. For some reason local media was deafeningly silent, except for one paper which allleged that such activities are on the rise.

The CPVPV has no problem when it comes to finding and arresting homosexuals. But when it comes to locating identified murderers they become helpless infants.
