Meta journalist charged with terrorism

The Egyptian authorities have succeeded in arresting all members of the "Matasadsh" news platform team. Five journalists were taken into custody following a campaign that began on September 28, and they were all fully detained. Journalist Mohamed Ashraf Abu Omira was interrogated for 10 hours and referred to the State Security Prosecution for investigation, facing charges of belonging to a terrorist group, spreading false news, and using social media for these purposes. The whereabouts and status of the remaining team members remain undisclosed. Egyptian authorities refused to comment on the platform’s activities, deeming it unlicensed and alleging that it operates within a media committee linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, a claim denied by the platform’s founder. This incident is part of a broad campaign of arrests targeting the platform’s team. The platform, established in 2018, verifies information before expanding its activities and has over a million followers despite its website being blocked inside Egypt. Human rights and media organizations have called for the release of the journalists and the disclosure of their whereabouts, condemning the campaign as a violation of press freedom and the rights of those working in the media.
