Egypt star Adel Imam sentenced to three months for defaming Islam

A Cairo court sentenced on Thursday Egyptian comedy giant Adel Imam to three months in jail for "defaming Islam" in several roles he played on stage and screen.

Imam, arguably the Arab world's most famous actor, was sentenced in absentia, he said, after he was sued by Asran Mansur, a lawyer with Islamist ties.

Imam stressed that he appealed the sentence that will not be executed.
