Saudi police have been on a crusade to find and persecute gays, similar to campaigns in Iran, Gambia, and others to eradicate gay populations. Hundreds of men who have been suspected of being gay have reportedly been abducted by police since March 2008. Last summer 55 men were arrested at a gay dance party by the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, a moral police force. (Michelle Garcia, Advocate.com)
