Egyptian police recently arrested a student in the Giza district of Kerdasa for “debauchery” after allegedly organizing a concert for gay people. The Egypt gay concert never happened. The student allegedly rented a venue for an Egypt gay concert planned to take place on Saturday, Feb. 10, 2018. When the student went to meet the venue owner, egyptindependent.com reports, police arrived and arrested both men. Since then, Egypt has arrested more than 85 people and the country has since become a current-day battleground for LGBTQ rights.
