The oppressive Egypt has sentences the female TV presenter Doaa Salah to 3 years behind bars for saying that unmarried women who want kids, can have them.
The presenter on Al-Nahar TV of the Maa Dody ("With Dody") show was sentenced to 3 years in jail by the Egyptian courts for simply speaking on her TV show, in an episode entitled "Single Mothers" broadcast on 28 July this year about unmarried women who want kids but who don't want to be married.
Doaa Salah said that women can be single mothers if they make a financial agreement with a baby's father and that it's something that happens in other countries.
Doaa Salah was charged and convicted for "outraging public decency" in the oppressive North African country. The Cairo court also ordered her to pay a fine of 10 000 Egyptian pounds.
Doaa Salah asked viewers if they had considered having sex without being married. According to the Egyptian courts Doaa Salah's sex talk on television "threatened the fabric of Egyptian life".
Doaa Salah's show was taken off air and she was also accused of performing "bizarre and controversial acts" on television, including wearing a fake pregnant belly and appearing under bubble bath in a bathtub.
"I did not intend to incite people to commit immoral actions," said Doaa Salah.
"Why did they punish me? I just presented my view point."
