Independent press under pressure: organisations and parties condemn the shutdown of Mada Masr

Cairo, Egypt ·

Anger has continued over a ruling to shut down the Mada Masr website and fine its editor-in-chief, Lina Attalah, 3 million pounds. More than 130 local and international organisations condemned the verdict, and Egyptian political parties criticised it.

Mada Masr is an independent Egyptian news outlet known for critical coverage of domestic affairs, and independent media in Egypt operate under several legal restrictions on publishing.
