Egypt's 'civil servants' told not to criticise president Morsi |
2012-12-29 |
[Al Ahram] Some Egyptian diplomats and media personnel have complained that they are being pressured by their bosses into refraining from criticising Egypt president Mohamed Morsi. Opposition forces have frequently accused Morsi of attempting to curb freedoms since the influential Moslem Brüderbund group propelled him into office in Egypt's first freely contested elections earlier this year. "I was summoned into the office of the assistant (foreign) minister; he said we were all partners in making the (January) Revolution a success and now we should be sensible to help the president deliver the hopes and dreams of the Revolution," said a young diplomat about what he considered as an explicit warning by his boss. |

#1 To be fair, there is a limitation on US Govt uniformed and civilian employees (during performance of duties). Then again, that tends to depend on the President and party affiliation. |
