Sex and politics are BANNED in TV soaps as Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi unleashes new wave of censorship

Sex and politics have been banned in TV soaps in a new wave of censorship in Egypt.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has come down hard on entertainment and news industries over the past three years and a new regulatory agency is overseeing output and censoring content.

Soap operas now must contain no sex scenes, no blasphemy and no politics. Police and other authority figures should be presented positively.

Gamal el Adl, who owns one of the most popular television production companies in the Middle East, says he thought he could manage by steering clear of the biggest taboos.

    Is this a situation where Christian values are bad, when it can be used as a stone to throw against middle eastern people?
