tourist murdered

Last Updated: June 1, 2000

June 2000: A European tourist was murdered after meeting a young Egyptian man in Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo. They had gone back to the tourist's flat together, money had allegedly been demanded and a brief fight took place culminating in the man being stabbed to death. One day later the building's bawaab (security) informed the police on discovery of the body and the police then arrested dozens of gays until a suspect was found. Whether or not the other arrested but innocent men were beaten, detained or intimadated is not known but as yet Tahrir Square and the Taverne Bar at the Hilton remain unusually quiet with it being difficult to find even half a dozen gay men in an evening were before one might have expected to see a hundred plus. We have more detailed information about the incident but we are seeking confirmation of the facts from the relevant Embassy and other sources - as soon as we know them for sure we will publish them at: (GayEgypt.com )
