55 arrests after suspected 'gay party'

At least 55 people have been arrested following a police bust at an alleged homosexual party in eastern Saudi Arabia.

According to police, drugs and alcohol were found at the farm near Qatif, while two young men were allegedly found wearing women’s makeup and dancing on stage.
Many of those arrested were Filipinos and Pakistanis, Saudi daily Arab News reported on Thursday.

A spokesperson for the Philippine Embassy’s labor attaché told the newspaper that some Filipinos have been arrested in that area and "we are trying to help them".

Waqar Ahmed, community welfare attaché at the Pakistan Embassy, told Arab News he had no knowledge about any arrests so far.

"Our workers are normally not involved in such kinds of activities. There is a possibility that some Pakistanis may be working or serving food in the party and then got arrested."
