埃及独立事实核查平台Matsadaash的六名记者因被控恐怖主义罪名遭到逮捕1。被拘押的记者包括Abdallah Qadri、Mohamed Ashraf Abu Emeira、Mohamed Adel、Islam Barakat、Mohamed Mahmoud和Omar Helal,其中一人于周日被控,其余五人于周三晚间被控1。这些记者被指控未获许可发布虚假新闻1。
被拘押记者声称在拘禁期间遭到刑讯逼供,称他们被蒙眼、戴手铐关押数天、遭殴打、强行脱衣,部分遭电击1。检察机关对此反驳称,对三名声称遭虐待的记者进行了法医检查,未发现伤痕或暴力迹象1。埃及内政部否认了刑讯逼供指控,称其为"无根据的"1。记者Rasha Azab因在社交媒体上批评内政部的帖子遭到质询,面临利用网站推广恐怖犯罪思想的指控1。
埃及记者计划本周末在开罗举行抗议活动,反对当局对独立媒体的打压1。
Egyptian journalists are organizing a weekend demonstration in Cairo to protest the detention of six colleagues from the independent fact-checking platform Matsadaash, who have been arrested on terrorism charges.1 The detained journalists are Abdallah Qadri, Mohamed Ashraf Abu Emeira, Mohamed Adel, Islam Barakat, Mohamed Mahmoud, and Omar Helal, with one arrested on Sunday and the other five detained on Wednesday evening.1
The arrested journalists have alleged they were blindfolded, handcuffed, and held for several days, during which they claim to have experienced beatings and, in some cases, electric shocks.1 However, Egypt's Public Prosecution stated it conducted forensic examinations on three journalists who reported abuse, finding no evidence of injuries or violence.1 Separately, journalist Rasha Azab faces charges related to promoting terrorist ideology online, following her social media criticism of the Interior Ministry.1 The Egyptian Interior Ministry has denied allegations of torture, dismissing such claims as "baseless."1
