EGYPTIAN police have detained 55 young Egyptian men for allegedly holding orgies and practicing “deviant rituals” in a boat on the River Nile in Cairo, a source in the prosecutor’s office said Saturday. State security prosecutors were investigating them Saturday for “exploiting religion for their own ends, practicing deviant rituals and holding parties where they practiced group sex and abnormal activities,” the source said. The source did not specify what religion they were allegedly exploiting, nor whether there were any women involved. The majority religion in Egypt is Islam which forbids extra-marital sex and gay sex. The group of young people was taken into custody from a pleasure boat moored on the Nile in central Cairo, at a time unknown. – AFP
