Euro MPs have voiced alarm after two men were arrested in Turkish-controlled northern Cyprus under a British-era law criminalising gay sex.

On Sunday, two inmates at the central prison in Nicosia appeared in court charged with having "sexual intercourse against the order of nature".

Gay sex is not a crime in either Turkey or the Republic of Cyprus.

Amid local fears of a crackdown on gay people, MEPs urged the Turkish Cypriot authorities to repeal the law.

As your friend D/C says

Surely people know homosexuality is illegal in N/Cyprus

Funny that EU MP's are concerned about this law but could care less about the Cyprus situation!

Re: Msg 5,



It depends whether in TRNC it is considered to be a "sexual intercourse against the order of nature".

'Turd denters' of TRNC should unite - er, I mean form a group, oh heck, or whatever, to petition the TRNC government to liberalise the laws re. homosexuality.



Live and let live!
