Face-off at Egypt's Press Syndicate (Video)




Egypt's Press Syndicate is under fire from the Sisi government; plus, the rise of the far-right in the Dutch media.


For the first time in its 75-year history, the Egyptian Press Syndicate has been taken to court by the state. Three senior members of the Syndicate now join numerous other journalists, dissidents and activists fighting harsh rulings that could leave them in jail for years.
Talking us through the story: Timothy Kaldas, writer and commentator; Khaled Diab, journalist and author; Mohamed Elmasry, media scholar; Marwan Kraidy, author of The Naked Blogger of Cairo.
