Pop singer Sherine Abdel Wahab could face another round of questioning from authorities over comments she made that could be considered “offensive to Egypt”, Ahram Online reports. Samir Sabry, a lawyer who’s known for going after high profile figures, has filed a lawsuit against Abdel Wahab who was heard mumbling “it's such a waste that I live in Egypt” during a concert on new year’s eve. The singer was sentenced to six months in jail last year for a joke in 2017 about falling ill from drinking Nile water, but she won an appeal against the ruling.
