Egypt Continues To Torture Gays
(Cairo) An international human rights agency says despite international condemnation Egypt continues to persecute, arrest and torture its gay citizens.

The report, by the New York-based Human Rights Watch was released today in Cairo. Five Egyptian human rights organizations joined HRW at a morning news conference.
The appearance of representatives of the five groups is seen as significant since in the past the organizations have turned a blind eye to gay persecution in Egypt.
