Mahmoud Higazi Addresses Harassment Allegations on Instagram
In his first official response following his arrest for harassment and sexual assault allegations, artist Mahmoud Higazi made cryptic statements on his Instagram account, citing a Quranic verse as he sought to clarify his stance regarding the accusations against him.
Higazi stated in his story:
"And they plot, and Allah plots, and Allah is the best of plotters," adding: "The schemes of humans and their machinations... regardless of their magnitude, they are met with Allah's planning, which nullifies them and turns them into benefit."
It appears that the artist intended to allude to the accusations he is facing through this statement.
The Egyptian security forces arrested Higazi following allegations of harassment and sexual assault involving a foreign woman of Egyptian descent at a hotel in Cairo.
Investigative authorities are examining the complaint to assess the validity of the claims, while the artist has firmly denied all allegations against him.
In a related context, Higazi was previously released on bail of 10,000 Egyptian pounds in a separate case involving domestic violence against his wife, who had formally accused him of hitting and insulting her, resulting in various injuries and bruises.
These developments have sparked significant debate on social media, with the public closely monitoring the outcomes of the investigations in both cases.
