An Egyptian Islamist politician will face trial on public indecency charges after being caught in a compromising sexual act with a young woman in a parked car, the state news agency said on Thursday.
Ali Wanees is a member of the now dissolved parliament for the Salafi al-Nour party, which advocates a strict interpretation of Islam and prohibits sex outside marriage.
He was briefly detained in June after being found in the car with a university student on a deserted road in the Nile Delta, state news agency MENA said.
The media reports say she was on top of him, while wearing a full veil. He says she was a relative who was unconscious and he was trying to revive her.
My Red Cross classes were way different, is all I'll say on that.
A nose job scandal hit another Islamist.
One more, and I'll call this a trend. And if a trend, I'd be shocked if the military isn't behind it in an effort to destroy the credibility of the Islamists.
