Egypt jails 'gay wedding video' men
A court in Egypt has sentenced eight men to three years in prison for appearing in a video alleged to show a gay marriage.
All eight had denied charges of inciting debauchery and offending public morality.
The video, which was posted to YouTube in September, shows two men exchanging rings on a boat in the Nile.
Though homosexuality is legal in Egypt, it remains a taboo. Police raids on gay venues have risen in recent months.
