An Egyptian TikTok star has been sentenced to three years in prison after a court convicted her of human trafficking at retrial.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Haneen Hossam, who is in her early 20s, was accused of exploiting girls for money through video-sharing platforms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She denied the charge, which was linked to an invitation to her followers to get paid for making live videos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Human rights activists say she has been prosecuted as part of a crackdown on female social media influencers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

They argue that the charges Hossam and at least 11 other women with millions of followers have faced since 2020 violate the rights to privacy, freedom of expression, non-discrimination and bodily autonomy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
