AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL - Oct 2 - The Egyptian authorities have arrested 22 people over the past three days, stepping up a campaign of persecution against LGBTI people in the country which began after a rainbow flag was displayed at a Mashrou' Leila concert in Cairo provoking a public outcry, Amnesty International said today. The scale of the latest arrests highlights how dangerously entrenched homophobia is within the country.
