Gays get cops’ bumhole probe

-

POLICE in Egypt have been given orders to finger the BUMHOLES of any men they see wearing gay- solidarity ‘ rainbow’ badges.

The order was issued after a group of men were arrested for waving a rainbow flag. They were then subjected to forced anal examinatio­ns.

Amnesty Internatio­nal blasted their treatment but authoritie­s responded by ordering wholesale bum- fingering to identify loose- ringed gay men.

Najia Bounaim, of Amnesty Internatio­nal, said: “Forced anal examinatio­ns are abhorrent and amount to torture. This practice must be stopped immediatel­y”

Gay sex is not illegal in Egypt, but the country has been cracking down on supposed moral indecency, with gay men a prime target.
