The Supreme Islamic Shiite Council filed a criminal complaint on Friday against comedian Shaden Fakih because of a video clip that was widely shared on social media on Wednesday, in which she joked about Islamic and Christian prayer rituals.

Dar AL Fatwa had also filed a complaint on Thursday against Fakih for “offending Islam” and “national unity,” as well as “inciting religious and communal discord.”

Shaden Fakih’s name trended on X, sparking controversy among supporters and opponents regarding Shaden and freedom of opinion and expression.
