Attacks on Egyptian media must end - CPJ

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), a worldwide press freedom group, called on the Egyptian military to end the violence against journalists and the censoring of media outlets.  

See CPJ statement -'In Egypt, press freedom abuses must be investigated' (19/12/11)

CPJ's Middle East and North Africa programme coordinator, Mohamed Abdel Dayem, said,

"Military authorities must stop using violence as a form of censoring the press who are exposing their violent suppression of protests in the streets of Cairo,"

"The Egyptian government must ensure that additional attacks on the media are prevented and must also guarantee that the attacks that have already occurred are thoroughly investigated."
