Khaberni - The defense of blogger Mariam Ayman, known as "the Jordanian Suzy," has filed an appeal against the verdict issued by her from the Cairo Economic Court, which sentenced her to a year in prison with labor and fined her 100,000 Egyptian pounds, after convicting her of broadcasting content that violates public decency.
The Economic Appeal Court has scheduled December 24 as the date to start the first hearing sessions.
The Economic Court issued its verdict today, Wednesday, after charging the accused with creating two social media accounts and broadcasting video clips containing words and insinuations considered offensive and contrary to public morals, as well as accusing her of undermining family and societal values.
Statement of Suzy the Jordanian in front of the prosecution
During the investigations, Suzy denied the allegations against her, asserting that the content she presents is merely entertainment and does not carry any indecent material.
She clarified that she does not earn direct profits from live broadcasting or video clips on "TikTok," indicating that her primary source of income comes from commercial advertisements in which she promotes beauty products and clothing, given her role as an influencer followed by millions of users.
Anti-Money Laundering Report
A report issued by the Anti-Money Laundering Crimes Administration revealed that the accused owns three residential units in "Madinty," in addition to two other units in the areas of Matariya and Zeitoun.
The report specified that she distributed her profits from her activities through bank accounts and electronic wallets belonging to her and some of her family members, in an attempt to legalize the accrued funds.
The report noted that the amount of money earned from her activities is estimated at about 15 million Egyptian pounds, and that she has attempted to conceal the source by purchasing properties to make it appear as if they were the result of legitimate activities.
Prosecution's Argument
During its argument in case number 19 of the year 2025, the prosecution emphasized its role in protecting the ethical values of society, stating: "Whoever improves himself owns it, and whoever neglects it destroys it, and the righteousness of society can only be achieved by reforming its individuals."
The representative of the prosecution added that the accused started her online activity at the age of 17, when she created an account on TikTok under the name "the Jordanian Suzy," and posted her first video clip from inside a classroom alongside a classmate, which achieved widespread dissemination and encouraged her to continue posting more clips, eventually turning this activity into a source of profit and income.
The first session of the appeal is scheduled for December 24, to review the judgment issued against her, amid widespread interest in the case which reignites the debate over the boundaries of online content and its creators' responsibility under the law.
