Egypt Fines Editor Lina Attalah, Orders Closure of Mada Masr
A Cairo court convicted Mada Masr editor Lina Attalah of running a website without a license, fining her and ordering the independent outlet closed; she was freed after the site paid about $53,500. The ruling drew swift condemnation from press freedom groups, who say Egypt is moving to shut down its remaining independent media.
