This prolonged uncertainty is intolerable. The RSF must immediately and unconditionally release Ibrahim. Until his release, it must urgently provide independently verified proof that he is alive, disclose his whereabouts, and guarantee immediate access to his family and adequate medical care. His family cannot be left waiting in anguish any longer." — Sara Qudah, MENA Regional Director

Egypt is weaponizing its media law to punish independent journalism and intensify one of its worst crackdowns on the press in years, which began with the arrest of six Matsdaash journalists. It is long past time for Egypt to end this campaign and allow independent media to report freely.0103030

CPJ urges the Syrian government to end the intimidation of the press, stop forcing reporters to expose confidential sources, and allow them to report without fear of retaliation." — Rama Sabanekh Interim Program Coordinator, Levant

- "CPJ is appalled by reports of the Israeli military shooting towards journalists @cbonneauimages and Ali Ezzeddine in southern #Lebanon. The two journalists were accompanied by a Lebanese soldier when the incident took place, and Ezzedine was wearing a clearly marked 'Press' vest when a bullet hit the wall they were standing next to. Journalists are not a target, and these dangerous actions underscore an ongoing pattern of press obstruction in southern Lebanon." — Sara Qudah, MENA Regional Director
