Saad Lamjarred at a party in Tunis in 2016
The company that organized a concert scheduled in Egypt for the Moroccan artist Saad has been eliminated only for its announcements of the event on the Internet, after the propagation of calls on social networks asking for its cancellation, for the “accusations” faced by Lamjar in France and United States of “raping three girls.”
The concert ticket distribution company canceled the purchase mark on its website.
A source from the party organizing company “Cairo Show” told the BBC that holding Saad Lamjarred’s concert in Cairo is not a sure thing, because the technical details of the project have not yet been decided and it has not been decided on a date based on your organization, minutes before the poster was removed.
Cairo Show, a private Egyptian company established about two years ago and interested in theater and concerts, had posted an image of “Lamjarred” on their internet platforms and wrote the above, “Soon at a big party … Expect many surprises during the month of December”.
His fame does not justify
Social media users interacted with the hashtags “# We don’t want just_in_Egypt” and “# Saad_Just a rapist”.
And the “Assault Police” account on Instagram, which has been famous in recent months for posting testimonies from victims of sexual harassment in Egypt, reposted an image of Saad’s concert announcement right after he added the word “rapist. “.
Nadine Ashraf, the owner of the famous Instagram account, said in a video clip that “Egypt is full of harassment problems, so should we invite people accused of rape from abroad to sing in our country?”
Egyptian actress Mayan El-Sayed responded to boycott calls by reissuing calls to cancel the concert, and is the actress who had previously announced that she was harassed in more than one incident.
And the tweet, Muhammad Ibrahim, wrote on Twitter: “We have a desire for fame in any form, even if the issue turned up negative.”
Nihad Abu Qamis, director of the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights, told the BBC that civil society in Egypt is now in a fierce confrontation with crimes of harassment and violence against women, asking: “How does a company to invite a singer accused of raping girls at the same time? “
In Egypt there is a wave of disclosures of incidents of sexual assault, as users of social networking sites have raised controversies several times this year over many cases related to harassment and rape, including the cases of “Ahmed Bassam Zaki” and “The Vermont Girl”, and judicial authorities have moved in response to it after encouraging victims to submit reports to the Public Ministry.
The Egyptian parliament passed legislative amendments that protect the confidentiality of the data of victims of bullying when they come to report crimes committed against them, in an attempt to overcome social customs in Egypt that prevent girls from complaining about sexual assaults.
And human rights lawyer Nihad Abu Qamis added that the matter at Saad’s party is not related to the law, as the accused is innocent until proven guilty, but is related to social responsibility, “as you must first acquit him of the rape charges. “
Real accusations or conspiracy?

Saad began only for his singing career in 2007, when he appeared on the popular competition show “Super Star.” He did not win the title of the show, which was steps away from him, but then he gained massive fame and views of his songs on YouTube approached three billion views.
Saad Lamjarred became a popular singer, not only in the countries of North Africa, but his fame reached the countries of the East and the Gulf.
Recently, the Moroccan singer released his first song in the Egyptian dialect, “Ada Al-Kalam”, and has achieved nearly 80 million views on YouTube.
Saad said simply because he “loves the Egyptian audience,” which he was so supportive of, and is happy because he sang the Egyptian dialect.
The Moroccan artist previously told Egyptian news websites during a visit to Sharm el-Sheikh that “success in singing in the Arab world begins with Egypt,” adding that he is happy to be a reason to promote tourism.
Saad was arrested only for the first time on suspicion of beating and raping a woman in New York in 2010. Six years later, he was charged with sexually assaulting a French woman named Laura Priolla. And in the fall of 2018, he was again accused of raping a girl on the French Riviera.
Despite this, his songs, which were released amid all these accusations, reached record audience and viewing figures.
Activists in Saudi Arabia previously launched the hashtag “# We reject_Saad_Just_in_Riyadh”, to protest his participation in a concert late last year, but acted afterwards.
There is a belief among fans of the Moroccan singer that his widespread Arab and European fame has led him to be exposed to a “conspiracy, since the groups intervene to prevent him from reviving international concerts so that his fame does not increase.”
Some of his admirers say that the women who accused him of raping them “did so on demand for a month, exploiting Saad’s fame for the mere fact of doing so.”
