Egypt ·

Lina Attalah, who heads the independent outlet Mada Masr, is due in a criminal court on Wednesday. She is being retried after a one-year prison sentence was handed down in absentia in 2024, without her knowledge, for running a news website without a licence. The case has drawn wide international criticism.

Mada Masr is an independent Egyptian news outlet, and independent media in Egypt have faced criticism from rights groups over restrictions placed on them.
