Read this story in English W460

قضت محكمة في القاهرة الخميس بحبس الممثل المصري عادل امام ثلاثة اشهر بعد ان دانته بـ"الاساءة الى الاسلام" في اكثر من عمل سينمائي ومسرحي، بحسب ما قال امام الخميس لفرانس برس.

واكد عادل امام ان "حكما صدر ضده بالحبس ثلاثة اشهر بتهمة الاساءة الى الاسلام" مشددا على انه استأنف الحكم" وبالتالي فان الحكم لن ينفذ.

واوضح نجم الكوميديا المصرية على مدار اكثر من 30 عاما الفنان عادل امام "المحكمة عليه بالسجن لمدة ثلاثة اشهر مع دفع غرامة 1000 جنيه مصري (160 دولار تقريبا)".

وقال امام ان "البعض الذي حاول ان يشتهر قام برفع دعاوي قضائية على اعمال قمت ببطولتها باعتبارها مسيئة للاسلام وهذا طبعا ليس صحيحا فكل الاعمال التي لعبت بطولتها كانت تعرض على الرقابة ولو كان فيها ما يسيء لكانت الرقابة اوقفتها".

واوضح امام ان "من بين الاعمال التي ينتقدونها افلام "الارهابي" و"مرجان احمد مرجان" ومسرحية "الزعيم".

وقال انه "تم الحكم عليه غيابيا الا ان محاميه قام بالاستئناف على هذه الحكم حيث حدد موعد لجلسة الاستئناف في 3 نيسان المقبل".

واشار امام الى ان "الكثير من لجان حقوق الانسان والكثير من الفنانين قاموا بالاتصال به للاطمئمنان عليه واعلان التضامن معه في مواجهة هذه الحكم".

وهو اول حكم تصدره محكمة مصرية حيال حرية الابداع للفنانين المصريين وتقضي بحبسه نتيجة مشاركته في عمل مصرح به رقابيا بعد نجاح التيارات الاسلامية في الحصول على غالبية مقاعد مجلس الشعب المصري.

وكان المحامي الاسلامي عسران منصور اقام دعوى قضائية ضد الفنان عادل امام قبل بضعة سنوات يتهمه فيها بالاساءة للدين الاسلامي في مسرحية "الزعيم" وفيلم "مورجان احمد مورجان".

It comes as the majority of Egypt opposes the defamation of any religion...so, yes, it is a step towards democracy!

Surprise surprise... And then you wonder why some Egyptians start to regret Mubbarak...
The poor guys who started the Egyptian revolution, as those from Tunisia and Libya, have been stripped from their rights to speak and will probably soon end up in jail. Freedom of speech will be banned. And nothing will have changed because in any case these idiots retrogrades can do nothing to create more jobs and improve quality of life for the poorest - not even speaking about the minorities...
Bravo!

"Defamation of Islam" a job that is already better done by those who claim to be the True Muslims!

Adel Imam did not defame Islam. He simply exposed the MB's and salafites' roots as British-established and their roles in sectarian hatred in Egypt.

Yousef, criticism is not the same as defamation. For example, I cannot go around and spread lies about you, this is called defamation.

this is what people get when voting muslim brotherhood and salafis to power.
whole society even the judges go crazy.

that's why we dealt with domestic and imported fanatics on nahr el bared and may 7.

Humm funny I distinctly remember that groundhog hassin of the resistance put red lines around the filthy Islamist terrorists released from a jail in Syria and sent to Nahr el Bared.

I also recall how the smelly members of the Zionist spies infested filthy bee3at al hadinat Iranian revolution in Lebanon attacking the people in Achrafieh after some TV actor put a dress and a turban on to look like groundhog hassin of the resistance. The TV actor was a Christian so obviously the smelly members of the Zionist spies infested filthy bee3at al hadinat Iranian revolution in Lebanon looked for Christians to punish for the defamation of groundhog hassin of the resistance's image and they had to come all the way to Achrafieh for that.

This is just a transition period. The disparate will come out for a last breath of air and then the young educated generation will take over. This might take another 5-10 years ( hopefully less) but its a new middle east in the happening.

How would they know what democracy is and rights are if they never experienced either. Liberty and freedom evolve through ongoing experiences and trials not a switch that gets flipped on and off. Unfortuantely the corrupt dictators of the Middle East were too consumed accumulating wealth and power while oppressing the populace. The ignorant and oppressed becomes an easy prey for religious zealots. If I were to predict the future I would predict that after the zealots rule for few years they will cause enough harm resulting in a backlash and the pendulum will swing again. It will take few swings of the pendulum before it finally settles in the zone of moderation, reason, civility and respect for human life. We can not know what the future would be like but we know what existed until now does not offer any solutions and contributed to the backward state we are in.

@jabalamel: Dealt with Nahr Al Bared which your saint Nasrallah said was a red line and told the military not to go into the camp to fight the terrorists. 3 months hard labor with chance of appeal is a lot better than what the crazy fundamentalists in Iran do to people who defame Islam (straight to hanging. Also don't forget your friends burning liquor stores int the south. So what's the difference between Salafi and Huzb Allah extremists? Both commit terrorist attacks and both are religious fundamentalist extremists.

Imported fanatics that 'we' dealt with? My, how you do love to twist the facts, JAmel. Your resistance completely washed its hands of 'dealing' with those fanatics. As for your divine leader, he famously declared that entering Nahr el-Bared was a 'red line'. If it hadn't been for the Lebanese army - backed by the way, by your favourite local villains, M14 - there would probably still be an 'insurrection' going on there today.
I don't doubt that many of those responsible for the fighting were 'imported' or even that some might have been supported by KSA. But let's not lie by trying to pretend it was Hezbollah that brought the problem to an end.
