Egyptian police arrested all six journalists of an investigative outlet, accusing them of spreading misinformation for the banned Muslim Brotherhood; the outlet denies the charge. This marks a significant crackdown on independent media, continuing a pattern of press suppression under the current government. The arrests signal heightened repression of dissent and could deter investigative journalism in Egypt.
