A Malaysian state's move to send 57 schoolboys with "effeminate tendencies" to a boot camp aimed at counseling them on masculine behavior has angered rights groups in the Southeast Asian country, Reuters reports.

The schoolboys, aged 13 to 17 and living in northeastern Malaysia, were selected for the boot camp for displaying "some feminine characteristics".

The four-day camp, which ended Thursday, included religious lectures, visiting local mosques and aerobics workouts.

"Corrective boot camps to 'fix' children and individuals must not be condoned because it violates the rights of people who are perceived as 'different'," a coalition of gender equality groups said in a statement.

The country's Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil has called for such camps, of which this was the first known example in Malaysia, to be abolished. （點(diǎn)擊路透社網(wǎng)站查看原文）
