Independent Egyptian outlet's team arrested for alleged fake news
Egypt has arrested six journalists over claims they belong to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and produced fabricated news for an online outlet in exchange for foreign funding. The arrests swept up the entire editorial team of Matsadaash, an independent Egyptian media outlet. Co-founder Abdelrahman Mansour has denied the allegations. Human Rights Watch and other rights groups have called for the journalists’ release, condemning the arrests as part of a wider crackdown on independent media.
The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights said the journalists’ whereabouts remain unknown and that they have had no contact with their families or lawyers.
