Court sentences man to prison for reportedly lounging in his balcony in his birthday suit
An Egyptian court sentenced a man to six months in prison for “regularly appearing [unclothed]” on his balcony, at his own home, Innfrad reported on Tuesday. “The defendant, who is in his twenties and is currently behind bars, said he sometimes stood on his balcony dressed in shorts and an undershirt because of the intense Cairo heat, but denied that he ever appeared [unclothed].” His neighbours, who filed the complaint, refute that story, with the police report alleging he “regularly appears on his balcony without a stitch of clothing” and [redacted] harassed his neighbours. Clearly, the best way to escape the heat is to go stand outside on the balcony in scorching hot weather, as opposed to staying inside the confines of a thick-walled Cairo apartment. Also, why are the neighbors not smart enough to photograph him to provide evidence? Almost none of the actions of anyone involved makes any sense.
