EGYPT SENTENCES 5 MEN FOR HOMOSEXUALITY!

I took this picture a couple of years ago in Egypt. Isn't this a beautiful image !? Just imagine enjoying the same sunset with your boyfriend and then being arrested !!! Wouldn't that be a perfect picture for your Egyptian gateway !?
Yesterday, 5 Egyptian men were sentenced to three years in prison for being gay !!! "habitual practice of debauchery," a term used in the Egyptian legal system to denote consensual homosexual acts. In addition to their prison time, the men were sentenced to an additional three years of police supervision, meaning they will have to spend every night at a police station, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., the lawyer said. AP

In 2001 in the biggest gay trial that Egypt has ever seen, 23 men were sentenced to between one and five years' imprisonment for "debauchery" In advance of the trial, Egyptian newspapers published the full names and addresses of the accused.



Sad et revolting!
I will never ever spend any money in Egypt.
As simple as that.

If you know anything about Egypt, you just know they are going to enjoy their three years of police supervision... however they maybe sore when it's over.

I think it is also important to note that the sodomy/homosexuality criminalization laws came from the French penal code when Egypt was a French colony. Prior to that period no such laws existed in the Middle East. France and the rest of Europe abolished these laws a few decades ago while they remain in the former colonies.
