Parents in Egypt could soon be sentenced to six months in jail for giving their children 'Western' names such as 'Mark', 'Lara' and 'Sam'.
A draft law banning the use of 'foreign names' was introduced by MP Bedier Abdel Aziz and discussed by his country's parliament yesterday.
Abdel Aziz said the punishment for disobeying the law should be a fine of between about £40 and £220 or a maximum jail sentence of six months.
