From the beginning the defence lawyers were confident that this case is fabricated, and it has nothing to do with the truth.
SOUNDBITE 2 - Nour, brother of a defendant (man, Arabic, 17 sec):
We expected the acquittal since they have nothing to do with the accusations which they were facing. We were confident that they would be acquitted. They were arrested in an authorised bathouse that was licensed 100 years ago.

I have been working in Baba El-Baher (the bathhouse) since 1993, and I'm sure that it’s a clean place.

AFP TEXT STORY:

26 men acquitted of 'debauchery' in Cairo bathhouse trial
by Haitham EL-TABEI
CAIRO, Jan 12, 2015 (AFP) - An Egyptian court on Monday acquitted 26 men accused of debauchery after their night-time arrest from a Cairo bathhouse for suspected homosexual activity, in a case which triggered international concern.
The men were arrested on December 7 in the raid on a hamam in the Azbakeya district of the capital, amid fears of a widening police crackdown on gays in Egypt.
The raid was filmed by a female television journalist, who days later aired its footage on the The Hidden, a weekly programme shown on pro-regime private satellite channel Al-Qahira Wel Nas.
The footage showed the near naked men, covering their faces and wearing only towels, dragged out of the hammam and loaded onto police trucks.
Allahu Akbar (God is Greatest), Long live justice, chanted the defendants when the verdict was announced, an AFP correspondent reported from the court room.
Long live justice and the police, cheered the jubilant families of the defendants, some of who clashed with reporters and photographers before the hearing began.
The defendants, including the bathhouse owner and four employees, were brought handcuffed to the court room and made to stand in a metal cage guarded by two rifle-wielding policemen.
The ruling proved our innocence and cleared the name of the hammam. I swear we did nothing wrong, said Fathy Abdel Rahman, owner of the bathhouse.
Finally, an Egyptian court issued a verdict in a case of this kind according to the law, Ahmed Hossam, a defence lawyer, told AFP.
Egyptian law does not expressly ban homosexuality, but gay men have previously been arrested and charged with debauchery instead.
In the past, homosexuals in Egypt have been jailed on charges ranging from scorning religion to sexual practices contrary to Islam.
- 'My son is a real man' -
--------------------------
Relatives of the defendants kissed policemen present in the court as they expressed joy on hearing the verdict.
Thanks to Allah, the truth is out ... my son was in the hammam with his friend to bath before his wedding. My son is a real man, said Hanan, a mother of one of the defendants.
Relatives threatened to sue television presenter Mona al-Iraqi who filmed the raid.
It's very obvious that Mona al-Iraqi fabricated the case, it's only right that the prosecution files a case against her for making a false report to the police, said lawyer Hossam.
This will be the best rehabilitation for the defendants, he said.
The case was fabricated and about to completely destroy 26 families. God revealed the truth, said Sayed, a brother of one of the defendants.
Iraqi has said on her Facebook page that airing the footage was not aimed at targeting homosexuality, but was part of a series uncovering male sex trafficking and the spread of AIDS in Egypt.
Defence lawyer Islam Khalifah said there was no evidence to convict the defendants.
There was the police officer's story, and he is the only witness and the forensic report denied his version of the story, he said.
The forensic report submitted to the court states that none of the defendants showed signs of regular homosexual activities.
Advocacy groups such as New York-based Human Rights Watch have condemned prosecutions of homosexuals in Egypt, and also condemned the controversial anal tests carried out on them.
This is amazing and unprecedented in Egypt, said Scott Long, a human rights activist who attended the trial, after the verdict was issued.
The verdict came weeks after a court in a separate case reduced the jail terms of eight men over an alleged gay wedding video that went viral on the Internet, slashing them to one year each from three years.
Their arrests in September were part of a series of highly publicised raids targeting suspected homosexuals in the

Revitalisation of Bigeh Island Film Trailer 2 | إعلان فيلم إحياء جزيرة بيجا ٢
It's the second trailer for a documentary film about
Revitalisation of Bigeh Island
Nubia, Egypt
Film Trailer Link:
Project Description:
Bigeh is a Nubian island which was abandoned by its inhabitants in the 1980’s in order to escape the existing conditions of poverty and deprivation.
The local community members needed to return to Bigeh but their return is conditional to finding work on the island.
Hence the project of Bigeh started by introducing the eco-touristic model which caters for tourists wishing to experience authentic Nubian life.
The project’s first phase is to build an eco-friendly restaurant and beach facilities which was completed in December 2017.
The second phase is the reconstruction of 5 houses to host the tourists.
Sustainability and Empowerment Process:
The local community leaders in Bigeh and their business partner ECO Group, contracted “El Baseetah SubUrbs for Investment and Community Development”.
El Baseetah Company aims to develop sustainable communities through the implementation of Profitable Sustainable and Environmental Management (ProSEM) for local communities.
As a result; Bigeh project became part of the company’s efforts in supplying sustainable development for marginalised communities in Egypt.
Hence the design and development exercise became a participatory process between the designers, local community and Eco Group.
Design competition and needs assessment workshops were held on the island with participation from several young architects and the locals of Bigeh Island.
The final designs of the project are homogeneous to the nature of the Nubian houses and materials selected are all with zero Carbon footprint in order to be eco-friendly.
The results from this participatory process were used in the implementation of the first phase which is the restaurant, beach facility and infrastructure for environmental friendly buildings.
Bigeh locals participated in the building process of phase one and the knowledge was transferred to their team from El Baseetah team.
Currently, the locals are using the same building model and techniques to self-build phase two in an incremental sustainable building process which involves the reconstruction of 5 houses.
