Egypt cuts jail term for dancer
(MENAFN- Arab News) CAIRO: An Egyptian appeals court on Sunday halved a jail term for a female dancer convicted of inciting debauchery after she featured in a controversial music video a court official said.
Reda El-Fouly was arrested in May after wearing a revealing dress as she sang and danced in a video that went viral on the Internet.
In June a lower court sentenced her to one year in jail for inciting debauchery.
That verdict was challenged and on Sunday a Cairo appeals court reduced the sentence to six months.
The lower court also sentenced her dancing partner Wael El-Sediki who directed the video to a year in jail. He is still at large.
In April an Armenian belly dancer was sentenced to six months for insulting Egypt's national flag during a performance last year.
