埃及开罗法院以经营无执照网站为由,缺席判处知名独立新闻机构 Mada Masr 主编莉娜·阿塔拉(Lina Attalah)一年监禁及2万埃及镑罚款 1。阿塔拉被短暂拘留后,因 Mada Masr 缴纳了300万埃及镑(约5.35万美元)的罚款而获释 1。与此同时,法院下令关闭该新闻机构的官方网站,并将案件重审听证会定于11月11日举行 1。
这一判决被视为埃及当局对独立媒体进行大规模镇压的信号,引发了国际人权组织的强烈谴责 1。此次事件并非孤立个案,此前已有6名事实核查平台 Matsadaash 的记者被捕并被指控属于被取缔的穆斯林兄弟会 1。据保护记者委员会(CPJ)统计,目前埃及共有25名记者处于被监禁状态 1。在政治背景方面,埃及总统塞西自8月以来频繁发表声明,声称存在破坏国家稳定的阴谋,并表示有意执政至2030年 1。
A Cairo court convicted prominent editor Lina Attalah for operating an unlicensed website, sentencing her to one year in prison in absentia and imposing a fine of 20,000 Egyptian pounds 1. Following a brief detention, Attalah was released after the independent news outlet Mada Masr paid a fine of 3 million Egyptian pounds, equivalent to approximately $53,500 1. The court also ordered the closure of the Mada Masr website 1. A hearing for the retrial of the case is scheduled for November 11 1.
This crackdown has drawn strong condemnation from international human rights organizations, who view it as a signal of unprecedented mass suppression of independent media 1. The ruling comes amid broader pressure on press freedom in Egypt, including the previous arrest of six journalists from the fact-checking platform Matsadaash, who were accused of belonging to the banned Muslim Brotherhood 1. According to statistics from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), there are currently 25 journalists imprisoned in Egypt 1. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has frequently issued statements since August alleging conspiracies to destabilize the country and expressing his intention to remain in power until 2030 1.
