An Egyptian belly dancer has been jailed for a year for posting a raunchy music video in which she sings about enjoying being groped on the bus.
Reda el-Fouly was arrested and charged with 'inciting debauchery' after her video called Sib Eddi - or 'Hands Off' - was uploaded to YouTube, went viral and was viewed more than 1million times.
Despite claiming it was a spoof aimed at mocking overly-sexual celebrities, prosecutors said it 'disrupted morality'.
Her boyfriend and the director of the video, Wael Elsedeki, has fled Egypt but was sentenced to one year jail in absentia.
While the video does no feature any actual nudity, it does show belly-dancer Fouly gyrating in a variety of low-cut tops and short skirts.
