The Egyptian Journalists Syndicate Council, headed by President Khaled Elbalshi, issued a statement expressing its solidarity with Lebanese journalists against the notorious articles in the new Media Law approved by the Lebanese Parliament. These articles threaten to imprison journalists for performing their professional duties. The council firmly rejected any legislation that restricts press freedom, considering freedom as the foundation of democracy. It called for the enactment of a law that prohibits custodial sentences in publishing-related cases. Additionally, it emphasized the need to protect journalists and ensure they can practice their profession without the threat of imprisonment. The statement also reaffirmed Arab solidarity in defending press freedom and rejecting legislation that undermines the independence of the profession.
