صح النوم
(‘wake up’)



A presenter on an Egyptian satellite television station has been jailed for a year, after being found guilty of inciting immorality. Mohamed al-Ghiety’s talk show, صح النوم (‘wake up’), featured a gay man discussing his sex life in an episode transmitted on 5th August last year. (The man’s face was blurred to disguise his identity.) The broadcaster, LTC TV, was suspended for a fortnight after the programme was aired.
