Egypt Detains Six Matsadaash Journalists, Five Still Unaccounted For

Egyptian security forces detained six Matsadaash journalists — Abdallah Qadri, Mohamed Ashraf, Mohamed Adel, Islam Barakat, Mohamed Mahmoud and Omar Helal — between September 28-29. Authorities accuse the independent fact-checking outlet of operating unlicensed and publishing false news for the Muslim Brotherhood, which its co-founder denies. As of Oct 4, five remain unaccounted for.
