Shyma, who was arrested on November 18, later apologised for the clip in a Facebook post.
“I didn’t imagine all this would happen and that I would be subjected to such a strong attack from everyone, as a young singer … who has dreamt from a young age of being a singer,” she wrote.
In sentencing the pop singer, a Cairo court ruled that Shyma was “inciting debauchery” and fined her $1000.
The director of the video, Mohamed Gamal, received the same sentence.
