Egypt jails female dancer for debauchery
A Cairo court Sunday sentences to one year in jail an Egyptian female dancer who featured in a controversial music video, accusing her of inciting debauchery, a judicial official says.
Reda El-Fouly was arrested in May after she appeared singing and dancing, and wearing a revealing dress, in a video that went viral on the Internet.
Her dancing partner and director of the video, Wael El-Sediki, was also sentenced to one year in jail in absentia, the official says.
The verdict can be appealed.
