The story of prisoners in Egypt!

Their only "crime" was being gay!

"....One guard [after the five were convicted and sent to Damanhour Prison] was the most evil among them. He hit us with plastic sticks. He filled tubs with frozen water and dumped us in it or splashed us with it. …Did he treat us worse than the other prisoners? Oh, yes. There were others who were the scum of the prison, who were beaten and insulted, but he treated us like the servants of the scum of the prison. We were the lowest of the low. Such misery you cannot imagine. He would open our cell at night as we were sleeping, and come in and slap us. I had religious booklets to console me. He told me I was too filthy to deserve them, and took them and tore them up. The beatings happened every day. The baths in ice water happened almost every day for weeks. He took me several times to Cell Seven. There the worst criminals were kept with the longest sentences. He told them: “Here’s a khawal. Take him for entertainment.” Something like twenty-five prisoners raped me. They would fuck me three or four times each, sometimes, while they beat and slapped me...."
