Egypt halts "Metsetesh" editorial team
Egyptian authorities have detained six journalists from the "Meta-Sad" news platform, which specializes in verifying Egyptian and Arab content. They confirmed that the detainees are performing their work openly and are employed by well-known media organizations. Egypt faces both domestic and international criticism regarding human rights violations and restrictions on freedom of expression, with a large number of journalists and opposition sympathizers being incarcerated. Meanwhile, the implementation of the new criminal procedure law, aimed at reducing pretrial detention periods, has been postponed. Currently, the number of journalists detained due to their work stands at 26, despite authorities denying the existence of political prisoners.
