Ex-Egypt lawmaker guilty of indecency
 CAIRO: An Egyptian court has sentenced a former ultraconservative lawmaker to 18 months in jail on charges of violating public decency and contempt of police.Police officers say Ali Wanees, who is also a religious cleric, was in a parked vehicle along an agricultural road at night last month. The officers say they approached the car and saw a woman in a full face veil sitting on top of Wanees, who was touching and caressing her.
The woman with him has been under arrest for about a month. She was ordered to six months in jail yesterday. The charges are especially embarrassing for Salafis, who advocate a strict segregation of unrelated men and women. Posted by: Steve White 2012-07-22 |
