Anti-Gay Egyptian TV Host Sentenced to Year in Jail for Interviewing Gay Man January 21, 2019


How cruel are Egypt’s policies regarding homosexuality? Anti-gay TV host Mohamed al-Gheiti was handed a one-year prison sentence for the crime of interviewing a gay man on his show last August. The man’s face was blurred but he spoke about being a sex worker. That was enough to offend public decency, according to the courts.



After the interview was aired, the Supreme Council for Media Regulation, Egypt’s top media body, suspended the channel for two weeks for “professional violations”.

While homosexuality isn’t technically illegal in the Islamic country, those who are openly gay routinely face punishment for it.
