An Egyptian court has reduced TikTok influencer Haneen Hossam's 10-year "human trafficking" sentence to three years, a judicial source told AFP on Monday.While the jail time was reduced, Hossam was also fined 200,000 Egyptian pounds ($10,800) by the Cairo Criminal Court, said the source.The targeting of female influencers has rekindled a heated debate in the deeply conservative Muslim country over what constitutes individual freedoms and social values.
