Egyptian authorities have interrogated the editor-in-chief and three journalists from independent news outlet Mada Masr for allegedly “spreading false information”, the publication said on Twitter.
Mada Masr head Lina Attalah and journalists Rana Mamdouh, Sara Seif Eddin and Beesan Kassab were summoned on Wednesday following complaints from members of the pro-government Mostakbal Watan (Future of a Nation) party over an article that accused the party members of “grave financial violations” that “should lead to their departure from the political scene”.
