| Two Egyptian dancers handed reduced jail sentences |
| 2015-10-11 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] An Egyptian court reduced the prison sentence for dancers Shakira and Bardis to three months from an earlier sentence of six months. They were imprisoned for inciting debauchery by filming a video clip that included sexual undertones. The dancers' lawyers contend that the video clips are works of art that can be interpreted in different ways. In March, Saffinaz, a well-known dancer, was sentenced to six months in jail for insulting the national flag after she appeared in a video wearing a dress in its colours. In July, Salma el-Fouly, an other dancer, received a six-month sentence for a video in which she wore controversial clothes. |

And in it, a great hero, named Kevin Bacon, teaches an entire city full of people with sticks up their butts that, dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is. Gamora: Who put the sticks up their butts? Latter in the movie, Gamora: We're just like Kevin Bacon. Guardians of the Galaxy Quotes |
