An Egyptian appeals court upheld the conviction of eight men on Saturday for “inciting debauchery” for appearing in a same-sex wedding video.

However, the judges reduced their sentences from three to one year in prison.

The eight men were convicted based on an internet video showing two men exchanging rings and embracing among cheering friends at a party on a Nile boat.

Rights activists say 2014 has been the worst year in a decade for Egypt’s gay community, with at least 150 men arrested or put on trial.

Egyptian law doesn’t explicitly prohibit homosexuality, so the defendants are tried for “debauchery” — a charge normally reserved for prostitution.

The latest crackdown took a dramatic turn when a private TV station filmed a police raid on a Cairo bathhouse earlier this month, showing images of half-naked men being escorted by the police.

The 26 men were swiftly referred to trial, which opened last Sunday.
