El Dekheila Sulh Court acquitted artist Mohamed Ramadan yesterday, Tuesday, June 3rd, of the charge of insulting the Egyptian flag and defaming state symbols.
This came after a lawyer directly filed a lawsuit against him, accusing him of wearing the Egyptian flag on his back in videos shared on social media, promoting ideas associated with "Masonic symbols," which the lawyer considered a blatant assault on national symbols and an insult to the dignity of the Egyptian people.
The lawyer demanded the maximum penalties for Ramadan in the lawsuit, and required him to pay a financial compensation of one billion dollars to the "Long Live Egypt" fund, as a reparation for the moral damage inflicted on the people and in support of the national and developmental projects carried out by the fund.
The lawyer also emphasized that the artist's actions were not limited to insulting the flag, but also included spreading offensive messages that harm social peace and national unity, warranting criminal and civil accountability.
This comes amidst widespread criticism faced by Mohamed Ramadan after performing at the Coachella festival in California, USA, where he appeared in an outfit that many considered similar to a dance costume, sparking a significant controversy on social media, leading the lawyer Ashraf Farhat to file a complaint with the public prosecutor.
The Egyptian Actors Syndicate responded by referring Ramadan for investigation due to what they deemed an "inappropriate" appearance that tarnished the image of the Egyptian artist and the people.
Nevertheless, Ramadan defended his choice of attire, explaining that it was inspired by Pharaonic attire, and emphasizing that he raised the Egyptian flag during the event.
Today, El Dekheila Sulh Court announced his acquittal of the charges, legally closing the case, while the debate continues on both popular and official levels regarding the artist's behavior and appearance at public events.
