#Egypt: Widening assaults on press freedom by the authorities, including targeting, persecution and harassment of independent journalists, must end immediately.
We call on Egypt to end all forms of harassment of journalists and media outlets, and to respect and fulfil the right to freedom of expression, including the right to information. Journalists must be able to carry out their essential work free from intimidation and reprisals.

We, as Egyptian journalists, firmly reject any foreign or international interference in the affairs of Egypt’s judicial authorities or attempts to undermine the independence of the Egyptian judiciary.
We also reject the defense of a foreign-funded media platform and individuals associated with the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood organization under the pretext of press freedom or human rights.
Egypt’s sovereignty, judicial independence, and the rule of law must be respected. No one has the right to impose political pressure on Egypt or interfere in its internal affairs.
Respect Egypt’s sovereignty. Respect its judiciary.
