Egyptian pop star faces debauchery trial over music videoShaimaa Ahmed was arrested days after the release of a music video in which she dances in lingerie and flirts with a classroom full of young men. The controversy around the Egyptian pop singer Shaimaa Ahmed's new music video began with a suggestive bite of a banana and ended in a police prison cell. The 25-year-old, known professionally as Shyma, was arrested days after the release of a music video for her song I Have Issues, in which she dances in lingerie and flirts with a classroom full of young men. Her trial on debauchery charges is scheduled to begin on Tuesday (Wednesday NZ time). "The brand of morality that they're interested in is about people following the line," said Wael Eskandar, an independent Egyptian journalist.
