Egypt detains female TikTok star after human trafficking conviction
Egypt detains female TikTok star after human trafficking conviction
A TikTok star has been SLOTXO detained in Egypt, two days after she and another influencer were convicted of human trafficking and given long jail terms. Haneen Hossam, 20, posted a video on Monday in which she asked for clemency, saying she had never harmed anyone. On Sunday, a court in Cairo sentenced her in absentia to 10 years in prison. Co-defendant Mawada al-Adham, 23, who was present, was sentenced to six. They were accused of exploiting girls through video-sharing apps for money. The verdict came five months after another court overturned prison sentences that Hossam and Adham were given for "violating family values" with videos they posted on TikTok. Human rights activists say the two women have been prosecuted as part of a crackdown by Egyptian authorities targeting female social media influencers on charges that violate their rights to privacy, freedom of expression, non-discrimination and bodily autonomy. Hossam, a Cairo University student who has about 900,000 followers on TikTok, was first arrested in April 2020 after posting a video inviting her female followers to join another video-sharing platform, Likee, telling them that they could make money by broadcasting videos on it. Prosecutors later charged her with "violating family values and principles". Adham, who once had three million followers on TikTok and has 1.4 million followers on Instagram, was accused of the same offence the following month after posting what prosecutors said were "indecent" videos in which she lip-synced to famous songs and danced in fashionable clothes. |
