Those who attended the party had their cars searched by police officers and were submitted to questioning as they entered or left the premises. However, demands for remedy or redress only bring further retaliation from police. Individual transvestites have been subjected to particularly severe harassment. Their money and personal possessions were taken and, when the victims were released from detention, were not returned. The transvestites were physically abused before police took them to Pavoncito, a detention center.
Some activists report that their homes are under surveillance by police.
