Elizabeth Wong, one of Malaysia's top human rights activists, blamed government "gutter politics" for the release of the images, which reportedly show her sleeping in her bedroom.
Newspaper reports have speculated that the images may have been taken by a former boyfriend.
"I wish to state that I am not ashamed of my sexuality as a woman and a single person. I have broken no laws. I stand by the fundamental principle in a democracy that everyone has a right to privacy,"she told a press conference.
The photographs, which are circulating via mobile phone but have not yet been published in the media, have caused a political storm in Malaysia, which is a conservative and predominantly Muslim country.
"She is a single person. How can she allow a man into her room when they are not married? What's the status of the relationship,"said Mohamad Khir Toyo, the former Barisan Nasional chief minister of Selangor.
Keadilan officials said on condition of anonymity that the party feared other more compromising pictures may emerge unless Wong stands down. ~MSN news
