Two male lovers held in Saudi

Saudi police arrested two male lovers after raiding their apartment within a drive to eliminate homosexual practices in the conservative Gulf Kingdom, a newspaper said on Monday.

The two gays had known each other through Facebook and agreed to rent a furnished flat in the eastern town of Khobar.

“Police raided the apartment and arrested the two following a report from local residents,” Kabar Arabic language daily said.

“It is strange that the Saudi telecommunications authorities do not shut websites that promote immoral acts among our people.”

In Kuwait, a school expelled two school boys after receiving persistent complaints from the parents of their colleagues that the two are gays, a newspaper in the Gulf emirate reported on Saturday.

Before expelling them, the headmaster of the secondary school in Kuwait City summoned the two students and asked them to open their school bags, Alanba Arabic language daily said.
 
“It was a big surprise,” the paper said. “When the headmaster searched their bags, he found women’s clothes and make-up items…he immediately decided to expel them.”
