According to an article published by the Daily Mail, Instagram and TikTok Influencer Haneen Hossam was reportedly arrested in Egypt after she shared a video encouraging young people to make money through live streaming on social media.
The video sparked outrage in Egypt and the local authorities have accused her of ‘inciting debauchery’ and ‘violating public morals’, according to reports.
Before her arrest, Hossam released a video defending her post and claiming that she did not call for ‘debauchery’.Â
Some social media users took to Twitter to defend the public figure citing that she was unaware of her actions.
