Public Prosecutor Hamada al-Sawy on Sunday ordered that belly dancer Sama al-Masry be detained for four days pending investigations over lawsuits filled against her by Egyptian TV host Reham Saeed and her attorney. Saeed’s attorney filed over three lawsuits against Masry, with the latest on Thursday accusing her of libel and slander. The attorney also slammed Saeed for uploading photos and videos onto her social media without any regard for public decency or morals. The dancer was arrested on Friday following an arrest warrant issued by the Public Prosecution. Masry gained criticism for her Youtube videos where she criticized the Muslim Brotherhood.
