EGYPT: Four Men Sentenced To Prison For Committing Homosexual Acts

The Associated Press reports:
A judicial official says an Egyptian court has convicted four men of committing homosexual acts and sentenced them to up to eight years in prison. The Nasr City misdemeanor court issued its ruling on Monday. Police arrested the men for holding parties they say involved homosexual acts and where they found women's clothes and makeup. Three of the four received eight years while one received three years with hard labor.
Three years ago Egypt similarly sentenced 23 allegedly gay men to up to five years in prison.
