Seven trans people have been arrested after being accused of debauchery, after police used fake dating profiles to lure them to a nightclub.
The Independent News Service reports that the people were accused of being “perverts”, and that they had been told they were arrested for forming “a network for practicing debauchery” on social media.
The head of Egypt’s ‘morality police’ reportedly said the arrested had been monitories by the government and that fake web pages had been created to entrap them.
He said the seven were lured into a nightclub in Cairo, where they were arrested.
