UN rights office voices alarm on Egypt press freedom

Egypt ·

The UN office said Egyptian authorities' assaults on press freedom are widening and called for the immediate release of detained journalists. Egyptian police arrested the entire newsroom of a fact-checking outlet in September, accusing six journalists of spreading misinformation for the banned Muslim Brotherhood.

Egypt's government has treated the Muslim Brotherhood as a banned group since 2013, and press freedom has been a long-running concern for international rights bodies.
