The head of the Federation of the Three Artistic Syndicates in Egypt, Musical, Film and Television, the Egyptian director Omar Abdel Aziz, warned against fake entities that grant honors to artists, which harms their reputation.
And a statement issued by the federation, on Wednesday evening, said: “With vigorous steps, efforts are being made to develop and develop the television and cinematic drama industry, and suddenly fake entities and organizations are spreading in abundance claiming to honor and award shields and honorary doctorates to members of the three art unions, which constitutes a grave offense to members in Egypt and the world. Especially since these institutions aim to make money and bring in illegal money.”
The statement added: “The General Federation of Artistic Syndicates affirms appreciation and respect for all entities with a good reputation and documented by the authorities related to the official Egyptian institutions, and calls upon the members of the three artistic syndicates to exercise caution and caution against unintentionally getting involved in any similar matter that would harm the artistic movement.” In Egypt, the Arab world and the world.
This comes after the pictures that spread to the Egyptian actress Sumaya al-Khashab, through which she announced that she would be awarded an honorary doctorate from the United Nations Art Organization.
After the spread of pictures and videos of her and others granting her fictitious doctorate, the United Nations Media Office in Egypt issued a media statement confirming that the institution that awarded honors to some celebrities “does not belong to her, neither from near nor from afar.”
