Lina Attalah, editor-in-chief of Mada Masr, one of Egypt's last remaining independent media outlets, is facing trial on charges of 'spreading false information' and 'operating an unlicensed website'. The trial comes amidst a broader crackdown on independent journalism in Egypt, with several journalists arrested and outlets shut down. Attalah's supporters argue that the charges are politically motivated and aimed at silencing critical voices.
