Egypt: The government's continuing crackdown on homosexuality

Newsweek
During the past 12 months, a massive police crackdown against homosexual men has terrified the country’s gay community and raised a chorus of criticism from human rights groups in Europe and America.
Newsweek reports that because of the strict societal taboos against homsosexuality, Egyptian human-rights groups have shunned such cases, leaving it to a handful of local gay activists to raise legal fees and provide other support.
