the reason TikTok blogger Suzy El Ordoneya was arrested in Egypt
ALBAWABA - Suzy El Ordoneya (Suzy the Jordanian) online game takes a dark legal turn. After getting many complaints about her, security forces arrested the blogger known as "Suzy El Ordoneya" (Jordanian Suzi) at her house in New Cairo. In the following paragraphs, we will discuss the most crucial facts and specifics about the cases she is facing. Suzy El Ordoneya is 18 years old, and her real name is Mariam Ayman. She lives with her family in the Matariya suburb of Cairo and is very close to her two siblings, Mawaddah and Mai, who both have special needs. According to her social media posts, Suzy is Egyptian; however, she stayed in Jordan for roughly 11 years before moving back to Egypt. Suzy Al-Urduniyya is quite well-known on social media, especially on TikTok, where she has over six million followers. Her provocative content has made her renowned, and her famous line "The street behind it" has made her very popular with many people. A preliminary verdict against her was made lately. She was sentenced to two years in prison and a fine of EGP 300,000, as well as a bail of EGP 100,000, after being charged in multiple high-profile instances. Some of the charges against her were that she used social media for unlawful purposes, joined a terrorist group, and spread false news on her websites. Some people also said that the blogger insulted her father on live television and then posted about it on social media. She was also accused of using her sister with special needs to make money by posting video snippets on her accounts. The investigations also looked at a complaint made by a firm against Suzy, saying that she had hurt the company's name and reputation on social media. Because of this, she was held for three days while an investigation was going on. The Matariya Public Prosecution then decided to let her go until the other cases against her were determined. It's important to note that later on, the North Cairo Child Appeals Court in Abbasiya decided to throw out her two-year prison sentence but keep the fine of EGP 300,000. The sentence was given because she openly insulted her father and used her sister with special needs to make and sell content. The decision was made based on legal reasons that took into account the defendant's situation and the size of the case. However, the fine remains in place according to the court's final verdict. sozy__ayman1 Instagram profile There is much debate over the line between free speech online and the rules governing digital platforms, especially when using family or personal issues to get attention or money. The case of Suzy El Ordoneya is a positive example of this. This case also brings up moral questions about what people publish and the need to apply the law equally to everyone when someone breaks the law or abuses someone else, whether it's a family member, a business, or even a follower of an online platform.
