Egypt court backs deportation of ‘gay’ Libyan
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Egyptian court backs a police decision to deport a Libyan man accused of being gay, saying the move safeguarded morality and religious values, a judicial official says.
Police had deported the man, a student in Cairo, after receiving complaints that he was gay.
He had appealed the deportation and Egypt’s refusal to allow him back.
Homosexuality is not illegal in Egypt, but gays have still been prosecuted under debauchery laws.
