Mayar El-Beblawi on the Wafaa Makki crisis: “She was not present in Egypt.”

The artist Mayar El-Beblawi commented on the crisis of the artist Wafa Makki, and what was raised about her concealment of testimony in her acquittal in the case of the torture of the two maids.

Al-Beblawi said in her interview with the journalist Basma Wahba, presenter of the “The Oracle” program: “I have not concealed my testimony for 23 years. I have not concealed anything at all. There is a difference between being concealed and not understanding.”

The artist continued: “23 years ago, I was not old enough, and I did not have anything in my hands, nor did I own myself, nor was I in Egypt, nor was I able to reach her, and there was a conflict of words that I did not understand, and at that time I misunderstood that she was innocent.”

The artist Mayar El-Beblawi said that the artist Fayrouz Makki was not innocent in the case of the torture of the two maids, stressing: “It has nothing to do with innocence.” Basma Wahba replied: “Hind Akef, I swear to God that you spoke to her and you were crying bitterly, and you told her that you have evidence of her innocence.”

Al-Beblawi added: “I don’t live with Hind Akef, but Wafa Makki said that she couldn’t afford to eat her son and was crying for help because she couldn’t eat, so I said, ‘Guys, leave her alone.’”

Regarding her position on the issue, the artist said: “One of them brought me two maids and I was coming down quickly, feeling happy, and I needed them very much because my son was an infant, and I found one of them dead to herself and the other standing in distress. I asked that I take only one, so the woman stipulated that they be with her.” Some, and the other scratched her hair to explain to me that it was shaved, and when I asked the woman, she told me that Wafaa Makki said she had bald spots and she shaved her hair, so she refused to use her services.. Therefore, where is the evidence of Wafaa Makki’s innocence?
