Likee’s application behind Hanin Hossam’s 10-year incarceration… What’s the story?
Egyptian teenager Hanin Hussam, known as the “TikTok Girl”, has recently sparked controversy after being sentenced to 10 years in prison.
This came after accusations of human trafficking, after she invited minors to work as broadcasters through the social media app Likee, and to enter closed chat rooms with men in exchange for money and appearing in immoral scenes.
The story begins on April 20, when Hanin Hossam says in the video that caused her arrest : “You will get 100 or more clients, you will open the camera through Live, and all I need of you is to have good internet and good lighting, and you should have over 18 years, and you will get 36 to 3000 dollars through the Likee app”.
A few days ago, the Cairo Criminal Court, held in the Fifth Settlement, sentenced her to 10 years in prison in absentia and a fine of 200,000 pounds after the charges against her were proven, before she was arrested and another session was scheduled for her trial.
