Egypt arrests six Matsaddash journalists over Muslim Brotherhood disinformation claims

Egyptian authorities arrested six journalists from the fact-checking outlet Matsaddash, accusing them of spreading disinformation for the banned Muslim Brotherhood. The arrests mark an escalation in Egypt's crackdown on independent media, targeting a fact-checking organization rather than typical opposition outlets. The move signals heightened state repression ahead of potential political events, though the evidence for the claims remains unverified.
