| 2013-05-20 |
| [Ynet] Two Egyptian journalists at a newspaper critical of President Mohamed Morsi were ordered on Sunday to face an expedited criminal trial for defamation. Public Prosecutor Talaat Ibrahim - appointed by Morsi last November - ordered the trial for Magdy El Gilad, editor in chief of El-Watan newspaper, and Alaa El-Ghatrify, its managing editor, state newspaper Al-Ahram reported. El-Watan is fiercely critical of Mursi and the Moslem Brüderbund. Recently, activists accuse the government of using the courts to target its liberal and secular opponents. |
