After conducting an investigation into the Ramadan series “Al-Tawoos” (The Peacock), Egypt’s Supreme Council for Media Regulation (SCMR) has announced that the series will not be suspended. The council’s investigation concluded that the show and its content had obtained the necessary approval from censorship authorities before it was aired on TV. The investigation was opened on Monday after the council received numerous complaints against the show. According to the complaints, the show’s language and content did not conform with SCRM code, which bans degrading or spreading prejudice against Egyptian families. The scene reached over one million views within seven hours of its release.
