The star Rania Youssef issued a press statement about her meeting with the Iraqi Al-Rasheed TV channel, which led some lawyers to file lawsuits against her on charges of contempt of religions, and set a session on February 21 to consider the first session of her trial.
The text of the statement reads as follows: “It is customary that every profession has a strict and clear law that regulates it with specific provisions and articles, but it is known that every profession has a human honor pact in addition to rigid articles of law, as the honor code is tantamount to the shadow of the law, and the media honor code obliges media workers to They respect their guests, and they respect their desire to inform themselves in the way they want, especially if these guests are famous and private society. "
Rania added: "In fact, I have taken a decision to limit or temporarily abstain from press or television interviews, especially those that rely on publishing the video recording via social media, seeking more views, as the culture of" trend "that often requires cutting and changing the content of speech. And showing compiled clips from the dialogue "Promo" gives a false meaning and distorts the truth of what was said throughout the length of the dialogue, but after the insistence of an Iraqi broadcaster - with all my love and appreciation for the dear Iraqi people and the Iraqi public. "
And Rania continued: "This broadcaster sent many urgent messages that my meeting with his channel on New Year's Eve will be a great victory for him in his field of work, and that the channel does not have the budget to make it pay the sums that public figures and artists receive, and after constant insistence, I agreed to hold the meeting without any." In exchange for my money and appreciation of the large Iraqi audience, but during the dialogue, I was surprised by some questions that we could call "thick questions," so my automatic response was for me to answer with some sarcasm and laughter, and this is a well-known way to confront Samajah. "
And Rania Youssef went on: "One of this quality is a question about the clothes of female artists in general in film festivals, and I replied with a sarcastic answer that was cut out of its context, and I said confirming that I am laughing and not speaking seriously, and that in the first minute of the segment 2.37 to 2.39, I am trying to joke with you all the time." "Be a buzzar with you" and that is included in the full version of the 50-minute episode, then I completed the answer.
Rania continued her statement: “My use of the noble Qur’anic verse was not.” As for the grace of your Lord, it happened “It has anything to do with the context of the answer about the beauty of the artists or their clothes. I said the text after my martyrdom of this verse in the next section 3.17 to 3.22, I did not mean in the body I mean in Life, when you still have a sweet need, show it to people, "I mean in life in general, not the body."
And she added: "As for the third point that aroused the feelings of those who heard the dialogue fragmentary from its context, my answer was to a question about" the veil. " We see all of us, from old pictures and parties of the sixties, that it was rare to see a woman wearing a headscarf, and yet Egyptian society was conservative and open without looking at the shape or clothing, and this opinion remains a personal opinion that has nothing to do with the origin of religion.
So, saying this opinion or something else is not an invitation and it does not carry anything in its folds towards those who wear the veil or those who have decided not to wear it.
Rania demanded that everyone not be judged by a hasty ruling based on fragmentary and distorted footage from the context of the dialogue, and this has asked her lawyer to immediately start taking all legal measures in Egypt and Iraq and to inform the competent authorities and the Supreme Council for Information about the deception and distortion of my dialogue, and I also offer my apologies. I sincerely to the Egyptian people, especially to everyone who saw or heard this fragmentary dialogue and thought that these meanings came from me. I also offer them my apology for conducting the dialogue from the beginning with a broadcaster who was not trusted, but we live to gain experiences and learn. "
Rania concluded her statement: “So, I saw that I write this statement for the dear audience in my beloved country, Egypt, with which I always guard against everything that touches Egyptian art and artist with the aim of deliberate distortion, and from here I call upon all professional media professionals to join hands together to protect the prestige of the word. It is the only bridge for the artist to reach the conscience of his fans. "
