Egypt: Russian belly dancer arrested over "inciting debauchery"


(MENAFN) Ekaterina Andreeva, who goes by the stage name Johara, was arrested in Cairo on Tuesday after authorities accused her performing in a dancing outfit "without shorts", local daily al-Masry al-Youm reported.

"Tourism police arrested Johara after they saw a video of the dancer wearing a revealing outfit in violation of standards that exposed the charms of her body without shorts," the report said.

"She also used her hand to point at sensitive parts of her body to stir up the passions of young people," it added.

The 31-year-old woman was released later on bail after also charging her with working without a work permit.

A video of Andreeva performing at a Cairo nightclub has been circulating on social media.
