The Freedom and Justice Cairo daily, the mouthpiece of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) which is the Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, has recently been the subject of wide consternation among Egyptian rights activists and groups for the way it reports news.
When the police and army special forces broke into the premises of rights groups and NGOs in Cairo a few days ago in the wake of allegations that they had illegally received foreign funding, the Freedom and Justice reported it as “inspection of the NGO premises by judges”.
Especially alarming for the rights activists was the fact that the FJP hold the majority in Egypt’s new parliament.
