Breaking: Mohamed Ramadan Suspended

The Union of Artistic Syndicates decided in its meeting today, Monday, to suspend Mohamed Ramadan from work until the end of the ongoing investigation.

Azouz Adel, an artist and a member of the Syndicate of Theatrical Professions, said that the Union decided in its session held today on 11/23/2020 to suspend the membership of Ramadan in the Artistic Syndicate until he is investigated, up to the first week of December 2020.

The artist, Mohamed Ramadan, raised a great controversy during the past few days after he appeared with a number of Israelis at one of Dubai's concerts and dozens accused him of normalization with the Zionist entity.

A decision is expected from the Syndicate of Acting Professions regarding Mohamed Ramadan's crisis

The Acting Professions Syndicate issued a press statement regarding Ramadan's photo crisis with Israelis, taken recently.

"In the last hours, the Syndicate Council followed with all interest and responsibility stemming from a national stance representing the masses of Egyptian artists and creators, what happened to one of the union members in an artistic gathering in a sister Arab city and taking pictures with artists belonging to the usurping entity,” the statement read.

The statement added: "In this position, the Council is fully aware of the difference between the official treaties that Arab governments are bound by and the popular, cultural and artistic stance on the issue of normalization, noting that the Syndicate Council reserves its right to take whatever actions and decisions it deems appropriate in light of the internal regulations and laws governing the work of the union."
