Representatives of the Livan Gay community demand that the authorities stop the forced medical examination of men suspected of "unnatural sexual relations", the Russian BBC service reports.
It all started from the police raid to one of the Beirut cinemas. In the television show, published the day before, it was argued that the room is actually a "gay home".
36 people were arrested, each of them in a police station was expected for a forced proctological examinations. The scope of the police conducted by the police and the subsequent protest rallies made the appropriateness of such tests the object of hot discussions in society.
Heterosexual Lebanese also opposed forced examinations. In their opinion, these measures will dishonor Lebanon in the eyes of the world community. The Minister of Justice Livan Shakib Cortbava agrees with this. "Immediately after I saw a television portage, I sent a letter to the general prosecutor with a request to understand the situation. And a little later, the Prosecutor General himself made an analytical note," he said.
It is worth noting that there is no punishment for homosexual relations in Lebanese legislation, however, the Criminal Code provides an article for “unnatural sexual contacts” - it can be obtained for up to a year of imprisonment.
It is noteworthy that at the end of 2010, a European country - the Czech Republic, fell under the discrimination of gays under a flurry of criticism. Refugees, who, arriving in the country, claimed that in their native countries they were pursued for homosexuality, local authorities tried to check, subjecting a special test .
It was as follows: heterosexual porn films were demonstrated to refugees, while the intensity of blood flow to the genitals was measured. If the blood flow has intensified, it means that the subject when watching the film experienced sexual excitement. And if it was excited when watching a porn movie that is not designed for homosexuals, it means that he adheres to normal sexual orientation and only stipulates himself to get refugee status and the right to reside in a European country
