'A British DJ has been sentenced to a year in jail by a Tunisian court after he played a remix recording of the Muslim call to prayer in a nightclub. '
'The event was part of Orbit festival, near the popular resort of Hammamet, and two European DJs played at the party. '
'The London-born Dax J, who left Tunisia after last weekend’s incident, was charged with public indecency and offending public morality, said Ylyes Miladi, a spokesman of a court in the town of Grombalia. '
'Tunisia’s religious affairs ministry has said: “Mocking the opinions and religious principles of Tunisians is absolutely unacceptable.”It is unlikely that the Berlin-based Dax J, who has performed at festivals all over the world, including Glastonbury, will serve any time in prison. '
'Organisers apologised but said they took no responsibility for the offensive tune.“Dax J is English and played the track recently in Europe,” they said, adding that he did not realise “it might offend an audience from a Muslim country like ours”. '
