A BBC Information investigation has revealed how violent felony gangs are discovering, abusing and extorting individuals from the LGBT group they meet on-line in Egypt.
Utilizing masking know-how to cover the identities of the individuals he meets, Ahmed Shihab-Eldin navigates the advanced on-line and real-life world of people that determine as queer and who’ve been repeatedly focused by a gang with violent viral video humiliations and police arrests.
To see the entire investigation, viewers within the UK can watch Queer Egypt Under Attack on BBC iPlayer.
Worldwide audiences can see the movie on the BBC World Service YouTube channel.
