| Egyptian Journalists Strike, Demanding Protection |
| 2014-04-05 |
| [Ynet] Journalists in Egypt held a one-day strike Friday, demanding that security forces protect news hounds covering protests and demanding that their employers provide protection as their job grows increasingly dangerous.

The strike comes a week after a young journalist was killed in Egypt while covering festivities at a protest by Moslem Brüderbund supporters. |
