埃及独立事实核查平台Matsadaash的六名记者在一周内被当局逮捕1。被逮捕的记者包括阿卜杜拉·卡德里、穆罕默德·阿什拉夫、穆罕默德·阿德尔、伊斯兰·巴拉卡特、穆罕默德·马哈茂德和奥马尔·赫拉尔1。当局指控他们无证运营该平台并代表被禁止的穆斯林兄弟会发布虚假新闻1。
其中记者穆罕默德·阿什拉夫面临更重的指控,被控"加入恐怖组织和传播虚假新闻"1,随后被羁押15天待审查1。他的审问从晚间10点持续至次日早上8点1。
这次逮捕行动引发国际关注。全球80多个人权组织对此提出谴责1,称这是"埃及现代历史上最严重的新闻打击之一"1。目前约26名记者被关押在埃及监狱1。埃及在无国界记者组织的新闻自由指数中排名180个国家中第169位1。美国最近豁免了埃及3.2亿美元军事援助的人权条件1。
Egyptian authorities arrested six journalists from the independent fact-checking platform Matsadaash within a single week, accusing them of operating without permits and publishing false information on behalf of the banned Muslim Brotherhood 1. Among those detained, journalist Mohamed Ashraf was subsequently charged with joining a terrorist organization and spreading misinformation, and has been held for 15 days pending review 1. The detainees include Abdullah Qadri, Mohamed Adel, Islam Barakat, Mohamed Mahmoud, and Omar Heral 1.
The arrests triggered condemnation from more than 80 human rights organizations worldwide, with platform co-founder Abdulrahman Mansour describing the incident as "one of the most serious attacks on journalism in modern Egyptian history" 1. According to Mansour, interrogations of the detained journalists extended from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. 1. The crackdown comes amid a broader squeeze on press freedom in the country, where approximately 26 journalists are currently imprisoned 1. Egypt ranks 169th out of 180 countries in the Reporters Without Borders press freedom index 1. The timing is significant given that the United States recently waived human rights conditions on $320 million in military aid to Egypt 1.
