Three more gay men are facing prosecution in Egypt.

Prosecutors are questioning the men who are suspected of attempting to procure sex with other men on the web.

"The prosecutors ordered the three be remanded in custody pending investigation," one source said.

The men, an anesthetist, chartered accountant and accountant, are accused of starting internet sites with pornographic pictures, and encouraging homosexual relations.

Same-sex sexual activity is forbidden in Egypt. In February, a Cairo criminal court jailed a computer engineer for 15 months and an accountant for three months for advertising sexual services on the web.
