EGYPT-HOMOSEXUALITY-RIGHTS-TRIAL
Defendants react behind the bars at a court in Cairo following the acquittal on January 12, 2015 of 26 male men accused of “debauchery” after they were arrested in a night-time raid on a bathhouse in the Egyptian capital last month that triggered international concern. The men were arrested on December 7 in the raid on a hammam in the Azbakeya district of Cairo, amid fears of a widening police crackdown on homosexuals in Egypt even though Egyptian law does not expressly ban homosexuality.
