Egypt jails eight over 'gay wedding'

An Egyptian court has jailed eight men for three years for “inciting debauchery” following their appearance in an alleged same-sex wedding party on a Nile boat.

The internet video shows two men exchanging rings and embracing among cheering friends. The eight were detained in September when a statement from the office of Egypt’s chief prosecutor said the video clip was “shameful to God” and “offensive to public morals”.
