Haifa Wehbe banned from performing and singing in the country

A statement from the Music Profession Union said: “The reason for stopping Haifa Wehbe’s permission, in coordination with the Performing Arts Profession Union, is that she violated the terms of her artistic contract with a film production company, despite receiving a deposit under the contract, and she did not implement the decision of the Investigation Committee of the Performing Arts Industry, which subsequently suspended her and prevented her from being allowed again.”

The statement added: “This request was made in conjunction with a formal complaint filed by the concert organisers to the Music Profession Syndicate alleging that Haifa Wehbe had breached the agreement to hold the concert on the North Coast on July 19, despite receiving the agreed-upon agreement – causing huge financial losses to the concert organisers. After reviewing the complaint, it became clear that everything the complainant said was true.”

The union statement continued: “The investigations of the Syndicate for Music and Performing Professions and the management and decision of the Legal Affairs Commission are consistent with their decision not to issue any work permit to artist Haifa Wehbe to give artistic concerts or to practice performing profession until the dispute received by both unions has been resolved.”
