Polikalepo Kefu was known for his work with Tonga s Red Cross, the local media association, and as a voice for youth.
He was also president of the local LGBTQI+ rights group who want to make sure his death is not brushed under the carpet.
Polikalepo Kefu, or Poli, was well recognised for his tireless devotion to a wide range of human rights causes.
The Red Cross described him as a shining star in the Pacific, and globally, who will be remembered and cherished for his dedication to equality for all.
Kefu s battered body was found in the early hours of Saturday morning near his home on Tonga s main island.
