Human Rights Watch urged Tunisia to end the use of anal testing, used as “proof” to prosecute same-sex relations

Human Rights Watch on Wednesday called on Tunisia to release two men jailed for sodomy and to end the “cruel, inhuman and degrading” use of anal testing.

The two men, both aged 26, were jailed in June for homosexual intercourse, but their two-year sentence was later halved on appeal. The two men denied all charges, but their refusal to undergo an anal test was used as “proof” to infer guilt.
