Egyptian singer's trial over Nile remarks postponed to January

"No, you'd get Schistosomiasis," the singer responded, referring to the Bilharzia infection. "Drink Evian, it's better!"
An Egyptian lawyer filed a lawsuit against Abdel-Wahab after a video of the singer's remarks emerged on social media, prompting an uproar.
The lawyer accused her of harming Egypt’s name and hurting its struggling tourism industry.
Egypt is seeking to revive the battered sector, a main source of national income and foreign currency. The industry was hit hard by the unrest of the 2011 uprising that toppled Egypt's long-time dictator Hosny Mubarak.
If convicted, Abdel-Wahab could face up to three years in jail or a hefty fine.
