An Egyptian court has sentenced two Egyptian belly dancers to six months in jail on charges of inciting debauchery. The entertainers, Egyptian Shakira and Bardees, were arrested after they released music videos in which they dance scantily clad in a suggestive way.

The verdict is one of several cases against dancers this year.
