Egyptian football star Mohamed Salah has said teammate Amr Warda "shouldnt be sent straight to the guillotine" after he was kicked out of the national squad in the wake of sexual harassment allegations.
In a Twitter post on Wednesday, Salah, who recently won the Champions League with his club side Liverpool, stressed that "women must be treated with the utmost respect," before adding that "those who make mistakes can change for the better and shouldnt be sent straight to the guillotine, which is the easiest way out."
Women must be treated with the utmost respect. “No” means “no”. Those things are and must remain sacred. I also believe that many who make mistakes can change for the better and shouldnt be sent straight to the guillotine, which is the easiest way out.

The 27-year-old forward called on the social media community to "believe in second chances," apparently referring to Wardas recent exclusion from the national team.
"We need to believe in second chances… we need to guide and educate," he wrote. "Shunning is not the answer."

Although Wardas name was not mentioned in the tweets, Salahs followers quickly assumed that the messages concerned Wardas expulsion and expressed resentment over Salahs reaction which was deemed inappropriate by many.
"How-come ya Mo? Youre an idol and a role model for all of us, whether we are Children, Youth or Men. and justifying such an outrageous act like this, is ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL!!" one user wrote.

"Should be held accountable. This is why there are laws and his suspension is just and fair. I really hope you do not continue to align yourself with a sex offender," another person added.
