Hala Sedky case sentencing upheld
The Court of Misdemeanor Appeals of the Economic Criminal Court upheld the verdict sentencing media personality Soumaia El-Saeed to one month in imprisonment with labor, a fine of 20,000 Egyptian pounds, and an interim compensation of 50,000 Egyptian pounds in a case related to her being accused of insulting and slandering actress Hala Sedky during a media appearance on social media platforms. Lawyer Sherif Hafez, representing Hala Sedky, had filed a complaint against Soumaia El-Saeed and Shalimar Shorbatly due to offensive statements published on social media that caused widespread concern. El-Saeed appealed the verdict, but the court affirmed the punishment, and an appeal by Shalimar Shorbatly is expected to be considered later.
