But he knew the Laws of that nation.

Being Gay is Illegal in Loads of Countrys.



He rolled his dice
and got bad numbers

But what grounds did the police have for looking on his phone in the first place ?

tbh, they are lucky they weren't killed over there... there's some seriously scary places in Africa and its scary to think you can still be stoned to death in this day and age.

it sucks that they had to go to prison, but yeah, be super careful when you're on holiday in a messed up country.

It was not just the phone
locals had told told the Police
he was with a younger man
and they were more than friends.

At the time they Questioned them
they then had Full Right to look at
his Phone photos etc.



It is all Very Logical
as in that nation being gay is
Illegal.


Next time the Sugar Daddy
travels - make sure its not a Illegal Gay Nation

A British holidaymaker jailed in Morocco for being gay has had a tearful reunion with his family as he returned to the UK following his release from prison.

Ray Cole, 69, was imprisoned for four months with his Moroccan friend Jamal Jam Wald Nass after homosexual images were found on his password-protected phone.

The pair were languishing in a crowded, barbed-wire topped Marrakesh jail but Mr Cole was granted a conditional release today after an appeal was lodged.

Mr Cole was met by his family at Gatwick airport last night and told reporters that he was "relieved" to be back home.

His son, Adrian Cole, 41, said: "Our legal team in Marrakesh lodged an appeal today.

"It has moved much faster than we expected and the court was able to take the step of releasing my father.

"We would like to express our gratitude as a family to the thousands of people who have offered us their support and kindness. I would also like to offer my thanks to the Moroccan authorities."

The case has generated huge interest on social media from supporters who asked for the Moroccan authorities to free retired Mr Cole, from Deal, Kent.

As well as a petition, a "Free Ray Cole" hashtag circulated on Twitter and a Facebook page was set up calling for the release of Mr Cole, who has a minor heart condition.

He struck up a friendship with Mr Nass, who is in his 20s, on Facebook. It was on Mr Cole's second visit to Morocco to see him that they were detained at a bus stop by officers.

Mr Cole, who is 70 on October 25, was four weeks into a five-week break in the north African country when the pair were held on September 18.

Confusion initially reigned over where he was being held until he was eventually tracked down.

On October 2 his family received a phone call telling them the pair had been jailed for four months. They had feared a six-month jail term as a worst-case scenario.

He was being kept in a cell intended for 44 men which was holding 60, forcing Mr Cole to sleep on the ground and live with dangerous prisoners.

Relatives tried to make his time behind bars more bearable by buying essentials, including multi-vitamins to compensate for the lack of nutritional food.

Adrian Cole said that the guards and prison governor had treated the family "graciously" and that his father's release had been a "massive step towards restoring my faith towards the Moroccan system".

The Foreign Office website says homosexuality is a criminal offence in Morocco.

It states: "Sexual relations outside marriage are also punishable by law."

But Mr Cole's local MP, Conservative Charlie Elphicke, branded the charges "medieval" and said it showed British tourists are not safe in Morocco.

Former deputy speaker of the House of Commons Nigel Evans also lashed out at the "archaic" law that sent Mr Cole to prison

Maybe the ex deputy speaker should lash out at The European law that let's convicted murderers travel with impunity into the UK and let the Morrocans get on with it, no one is forced to go to Morroco, plenty other more enlightened countries to visit.
