Egyptian pop star sentenced to prison for inciting debaucheryShayma 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. An Egyptian court jailed a little-known singer for two years on Tuesday for inciting debauchery, judicial sources said, after she appeared in a music video in her underwear and suggestively eating a banana. The singer, 21, who was also fined 10,000 Egyptian pounds (NZ$806), can appeal the verdict to a higher court. The director of the video, Mohamed Gamal, was also fined and sentenced to two years in prison, but in absentia. Both defendants were accused of inciting debauchery and producing a video harming public morality.
