Cairo 'debauchery' bath house men acquitted
An Egyptian court has cleared 26 men arrested after a raid on a bath house in Cairo last month and charged with "inciting debauchery".
The men were arrested a month after eight men were jailed for appearing in a video alleged to show a gay marriage.
Rights groups have condemned Egypt's treatment of gay people, in particular the use of anal testing to determine whether people are homosexual.
Though homosexuality is legal in Egypt, it remains a taboo.
