"While Egypt has no law explicitly banning homosexuality, investigators for BBC News have found that the country’s crime of “debauchery,” a law targeting sex work, has been used to target and criminalize the normal lives of LGBT Egyptians. The journalists reviewed transcripts that show undercover officers posing as LGBT singles online and on dating apps and pressuring people who ‘match’ and message with them to meet them in person or exchange pictures."
