BREAKING: Court acquits 26 men in 'gay bathhouse' case Egypt's forensic authority was unable to determine whether or not the defendants were involved in "homesexual acts"
Twenty-six Egyptian men were found innocent of debauchery after being arrested for allegedly holding gay orgies in a Cairo bath house. Police had raided the bathhouse after receiving a tip from television journalist Mona El-Iraqi who claimed on her show in early December that the men pay for private gay sex parties at the bath house in downtown Cairo. She was photographed taking photos of the men being dragged semi-naked out of the bath house by the police, a scene that caused public outrage. During investigations, Egypt's forensic authority said that medical tests could not conclude whether the defendants were engaged in "homosexual acts" or not. The authority also stated that the medical examination revealed that three of the young men were sexually assaulted. Although homosexuality is not technically illegal in Egypt, those suspected of homosexual acts are often charged under a law that prohibits “debauchery” and indecent public acts. Last year Egypt sentenced eight men to one year in jail following an alleged 'gay video' released online. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/120096.aspx
