Egyptian journalist charged with terrorism as newsroom detained
Original: Egyptian journalist faces terrorism charges after entire newsroom detained
An Egyptian journalist has been charged with terrorism-related offences after the entire newsroom of her outlet was detained by authorities, the Guardian reports. The mass detention and charges against journalists have drawn attention to the tightening space for independent media in Egypt, where critics of the government frequently face terrorism accusations under broad security laws.
Why now: People are discussing the case because the arrest of an entire newsroom and terrorism charges against a journalist highlight mounting press freedom concerns in Egypt.
