This is the latest arrest amid a wider crackdown on dissent in the country.
A prominent investigative media outlet in Egypt says security forces have arrested one of its editors, the latest arrest amid a wider crackdown on dissent in the country.
In a statement, Mada Masr said plain-clothed police told Zalat’s wife that he was being taken to the Giza police headquarters. “Shady has been working at Mada Masr as an editor since 2014,” the outlet’s statement said. “He has done nothing more than use words to report the news.” His re-assignment from a senior intelligence post came after he had been criticised internally within the security apparatus, Mada Masr reported.
