This past February, blogger Anas Hassan was handed a three-year sentence and a 300,000 Egyptian pound fine for managing the “Egyptian Atheists” Facebook page. This past June, bellydancer Sama El-Masry was sentenced to three years in prison and fined 300,000 Egyptian pounds for “violating public morality,” also under the Cybercrime Law, for posting videos on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Not only have these articles been invoked repeatedly in investigating and charging TikTok users, but also to charge users of other social media platforms.
The recent spate of arrests and charges set a new precedent, and represent some of the first instances that the articles of this relatively new legislation have been applied. The law’s following article prohibits disseminating material that “violates public morals,” stipulating two to five years imprisonment and a fine of 100,000 – 300,000 Egyptian pounds (roughly from $6,200 to $18,700). Article 25, which prohibits the use of technology to “infringe on any family principles or values in Egyptian society,” stipulates a minimum penalty of six months in prison and a fine of 50,000 –100,000 Egyptian pounds (roughly $3,100–$6,200). While this piece of legislation raised a number of other concerns in the lead-up to and aftermath of its passage, it is specifically the law’s 25th and 26th articles that have been invoked when charging the women using TikTok.
Family Values and the Cybercrime LawĪll women arrested in the crackdown have been accused of “violating the family principles of Egyptian society” under the country’s Cybercrime Law, passed in 2018. The use of the novel platform-especially among women-has gained the attention of Egyptian authorities, who have sought to press morality-related charges on the defendants, regulate finances earned by influencers, and control independent expression. In addition to the three that have been handed down appealable sentences, six other female TikTok users have been arrested, most of whom continue to be held in pretrial detention and investigated for similar charges. At least nine women have been detained thus far. These sentences are the latest development in a wider campaign of arrests targeting young women accused of uploading videos to the platform that violate “family values,” going back to Hossam’s arrest on April 21. All three women were prominent users of the social media platform TikTok-Hossam, 20, has almost one million followers, al-Adham currently has 3.2 million, and Samy has more than 185,000. 金英 and Luk Gam Sze 陸金史 and Sap Yee Ma 拾義媽Ĭonstable.This past month, the Economic Court in Cairo sentenced two women, Haneen Hossam and Mawada al-Adham, to two years in prison and a fine of 300,000 Egyptian pounds ($18,750) each, on charges of “violating family values and principles.” In a subsequent ruling, Manar Samy was sentenced to three years imprisonment and the same fine the judge also set a bail of 20,000 Egyptian pounds ($1,250) to suspend her sentence pending appeal. When Sui Tong-Lau ( Moses Chan), the newly appointed magistrate, arrives in Sap-Yee's city, they wind up working together to solve a number of unusual cases.
Meanwhile, her mother has given up her old ways and keeps her old identity and martial arts skills a secret to watch over her troublesome daughter.
Hoping to follow in her father's footsteps, Sap-Yee is an impulsive and idealistic constable whose skill and competence is often dismissed by her corrupt male peers.
