A man facing deportation who was charged on Thursday with escaping from custody as he was being taken into Cork Prison said: “I will be killed if I return to Egypt because I am gay.”This was one of the replies given by 34-year-old Ahmed Ibrahim of The Cooperage, Boheereencael, Killarney, County Kerry, when he was formally arrested and charged by Detective Sergeant Ernie Henderson.
