Journalism is Not a Crime: The Story of Mahmoud Hussein



A look at the case of Al Jazeera journalist Mahmoud Hussein and his continued detention without trial in Egypt.


In December 2016, Egyptian security forces arrested Al Jazeera journalist Mahmoud Hussein while on holiday in Cairo.
"We didn't know what was happening or where my father was. At first, we didn't even know if he was dead or alive," recalls his daughter Aya Hussein.
There have been no formal charges against Hussein, an Egyptian national based in Doha, Qatar. He's accused of "incitement against state institutions and broadcasting false news with the aim of spreading chaos".
