BBC News published this video item, entitled “How Egyptian police hunt LGBT people on dating apps – BBC News” – below is their description.
Homosexuality is highly stigmatised in Egypt, and a BBC News investigation has revealed how violent criminal gangs are finding, abusing and extorting people from the LGBT community they meet online in Egypt.
Using masking technology to hide the identities of the people he meets, Ahmed Shihab-Eldin navigated the complex online and real-life world of people who identify as queer and who have been repeatedly targeted by a gang with violent viral video humiliations and police arrests.
