Media reports making rounds reveal that Egyptian Actress, Raina Youssef will face trial over indecent body exposure to Cairo Film Festival.
For her red carpet appearance at the just concluded Cairo Film Festival, the curvy actress wore a sheer black dress with an attached solid black body suit attached underneath which fully exposed her thighs.
Raina Youssef outdid herself. How do you go out dressed like that in a society with zero tolerance for indecency? SMH. Everybody knows that countries in Northern Africa hate indecency.

The charges against 44 year old Raina Youssef were brought by two lawyers Amro Abdelsalam and Samir Sabri, known for taking celebrities to court.
“Youssef’s appearance did not meet societal values, traditions and morals and therefore undermined the reputation of the festival and the reputation of Egyptian women in particular“, Mr Sabri told AFP.
Responding to critics in a post on social media, Raina Youssef said “I had “probably miscalculated” in
choosing to wear the dress.
“It was the first time I wore it and I did not realise it would spark so much anger. I reaffirm my commitment to the values upon which we were raised in Egyptian society,”
I hope she would be forgiven in the long run. If not, she could spend 5 years in prison.
