| Reda El-Fouly jailed earlier in the year by authorities for appearing a racy video |
An Egyptian court has sentenced two female dancers to six months in prison with labour for "inciting debauchery" in racy music videos.
The court said on Thursday that the two performers, known as Bardis and Shakira, promoted indecency in their videos. Neither of the two videos contains nudity. Along with the singers, they include other women dancing in revealing clothing.
Arrested in July, the women were also convicted of "broadcasting obscenities" for appearing in two video clips wearing flimsy clothes and making "suggestive" moves, a judicial source told AFP.Bardis' video, entitled "Hard to Get," was viewed more than two million times on Youtube. Shakira's video, called "Cumin," was viewed nearly three million times.
In June, an Egyptian court sentenced three people to prison terms for a racy video titled "Hands Off," also for "inciting debauchery." Reda El-Fouly, the singer, appealed her one year jail sentence, which was later halved.
Racy music videos are common in Egypt, but authorities sometimes clamp down on singers seen as taking things too far.
