Female University student expelled for hugging male friend


Egypts Al-Azhar university has expelled a female student after she appeared in a video hugging a male colleague, accusing her of undermining the school's reputation.

The video, which went viral earlier this month, showed a young man carrying a bouquet of flowers kneeling before her and then hugging her in what appeared to be a marriage proposal.

However, the video was apparently not filmed at Al-Azhar -- a branch of Egypts highest Sunni Muslim authority -- but at another establishment, Mansoura University in the countrys north.

Nevertheless the disciplinary council of the Al-Azhar University campus in Mansoura decided to expel the young girl definitively.

 According to university spokesman Ahmed Zarie, he said hugging between unmarried men and women violates the values and principles of society.


Zarie added that, "the video had caused a public outcry and that the university's decision to expel her was because she had presented a bad image of Al-Azhar University, which strictly segregates the genders.

"The woman, however, can appeal the expulsion decision".

Similarly the authority of Mansoura University has  said that the young man who appeared in the video could also face sanctions,  adding that the schools disciplinary council will meet to decide his punishment.
