A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced a blogger to deportation and ten months in prison for a post supporting equal rights for gay people. Blogger Mohamad al-Bokari is originally from Yemen, but fled in June 2019 to Saudi Arabia, where he was living as an undocumented migrant. On April 8, Bokari was arrested because of a video he posted on Twitter, in which he mentioned gay rights. After his arrest, according to Human Rights Watch, he was subjected to a forced anal exam by police to determine whether he is gay โ a practice which has no basis in science or medicine and is condemned internationally as a form of torture and sexual assault.
