Seven Men who were arrested for taking part in what was perceived as Egypt's first gay wedding ,have tested negative to homosexuality .They men were physically examined and found not to have had sexual relations with men before.
In the video posted online,it showed one man being given a ring, followed by shouts of delight from those watching.The camera then showed a cake decorated with two men standing side by side.
The men denied allegations against them. One of them said on condition of anonymity that they were holding a birthday party for his friend and got him a silver ring as a present because it was something he wanted.
Forensic authority spokesperson Hisham Abdel-Hamid told Ahram Online: 'According to inspection, the seven suspects have never had sex with other men.'
Human Rights Wtach has asked for their release and said that :
"Such examinations violate international standards against torture.” "In the past, those subjected to the examinations in Egypt said they were forced to bend over while a government doctor working for the police massaged their buttocks and examined and sometimes probed their anus.Though they've been used in courts, experts dismiss them as "medically and scientifically useless" in determining whether consensual anal sex has taken place"
