Egypt: journos covering polls harassed, attacked
The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the assault and harassment by Egyptian authorities of journalists covering December parliamentary elections. CPJ sources and press reports confirm over a dozen cases in which journalists have been attacked, detained, or prevented from working since the first round of voting in the three-round election began on November 8.
The ruling National Democratic Party and security forces have ordered supporters to beat and harass voters and journalists, the CPJ sources and press reports said. Good news to find this information in a Kuwaiti newspaper.
