Tomorrow, Saturday, the Economic Court of Appeal will hear the first session of dancer Linda’s appeal against the ruling issued against her to one year in prison and a fine of 100,000 pounds, against the backdrop of her accusation of broadcasting indecent videos on social media sites.
Dancer Linda’s first appeal session
For its part, the Economic Court submitted the merits of its ruling on the dancer Linda Martino, who was accused of publishing clips containing sexual connotations, violating the principles and values of society, and misusing social networking sites, which sentenced her to one year’s imprisonment with penal labor, a fine of 100,000 pounds, and confiscation of the seized items.
Rationale for sentencing the dancer Linda
In the merits of its ruling, the Economic Court indicated that any scenes or video clips broadcast on electronic platforms must adhere to the controls of public modesty and the limits of social decency, and must not be used as a means to arouse instincts or promote behaviors that violate chivalry or affect the sanctity of the body and the dignity of Egyptian women.
In the merits of its ruling in the case of dancer Linda Martino, the Economic Court revealed the facts of the current misdemeanor, that the accused had violated those values and principles, by broadcasting and publishing video clips through her accounts on social networking sites, which included her dancing in a way that led to excitement and deviating from the limits of decency and decency, in the movements of the dancers.
She pointed out that the accused, while dancing, showed her chastity in a way that contradicts the Egyptian society’s established respect for chastity and concealment, which represents a blatant assault on the values and established principles of the Egyptian family, and a serious violation of public morals and public taste.
