Can I be jailed using Grindr?

Yes you can, today we're going to share with you a story of gays that enter the jail for using a dating app ( grindr ):

 Police are using technology and ancient laws to imprison gay people. Now human rights campaigners are trying to shift attitudes in Egyptian society

The last time Egyptian engineering student Shady Ragab tried to visit his friend Andrew Medhat in prison, he was turned away.

“We begged them … we just wanted to wish him a happy Easter. They wouldn’t even give him the food we brought to him,” said Ragab, who is Muslim, but had long enjoyed celebrating Christian festivals with his friend. Shady isn’t even sure if Medhat was even informed of the visit. That was a year ago; Ragab hasn’t seen him since. He wells up in tears as he relates the story.

Ragab and Medhat had met at university a few years earlier, building enough trust along with two other friends to open up and discuss their homosexuality together. But in March 2016 Medhat was sentenced to three years in prison for “public debauchery” and prostitution. Earlier that year, he had sent nude photographs of himself to another man on Grindr and had set up a time to meet in Tahrir Square. It was only when he was arrested on the way that he realized that his “date” was, in fact, an undercover policeman.
