Moroccan officials have rejected a request by Lebanese singer Haifa Wahbi to hold a charity concert for HIV research. 
After submitting a request for permission to enter the country, Haifa was surprisingly denied. The European sponsor of the event was forced to relocate the concert to Tunisia, where Haifa is allowed to perform. The purposed concert will take place on April 10.
On a different note, Wahbi has joined the ‘British Breast Friend Association’ that will sell personal photographs of several international stars worldwide. Proceeds go directly to support women with breast cancer. Haifa visited London on March 15 for a special photography session.
Haifa recently took part in a live concert on March 9 alongside Lebanese singer Wael Kfoury in Abu Dhabi, after which she headed to Dubai for a private concert in celebration of the launching of a new international perfume.
In the beginning of April Haifa will begin shooting the first scenes of the new film "Too Bad for Them" produced by Lebanese-American producer Elli Samaha and directed by Randa Alshahal.
