Tomorrow is the trial of Mada Masr’s Lina Atallah who is the latest victim in Egypt’s war against independent journalism. Like the journalists of the fact-checking platform Matsd2sh, who were detained before her, she faces trumped up charges and her fate is unknown. Read her in her own words:

For me, as a Palestinian from Gaza who survived the ongoing genocide, when I look at the rubble of homes on Google Maps, I am not seeing only the remains of buildings, which from far look like a decaying wall.
I am seeing the remains of people whose bodies were crushed beneath walls and ceilings they painted with their own hands.
I see children’s toys. Books. Backpacks. Coloring pencils. An unfinished meal. Blankets. Shoes. Photo frames of grandparents whose grandchildren never met. An old key to a home in Yaffa or Haifa.
I can also hear the last words of a broadcaster on the radio before the news occurred, before the radio was broken and the family crushed.
No breaking news there. No news at all.
.@Cornell arrested 22 students for protesting a genocide but seven students who drugged and raped a woman for seven hours were made to write essays about it.
so much grief on behalf of women and girls - the price of being committed to the betterment of our shared condition is a shared grief. may each of us get the justice we deserve
Solidarity with @GhassanAbuSitt1 Abu-Sittah, who has been treating children for 40 years. He made his first trip to Gaza during First Intifada in 1989
But he is now facing UK high court case accusing him of posts supporting terrorism & antisemitism

The transformation of Greece into an Israeli satellite is proceeding at breakneck speed. This bodes ill for the majority of Greeks, for peace in our region and for Europe and West Asia more broadly. It must be resisted. https://t.co/Odbo0NuED9
An FT visual investigation found systematic destruction across Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon, crippling systems essential to civilian life, from water and energy infrastructure to medical care. Raya Jalabi reports on the scale of the devastation. https://t.co/BcUPUBtpGz
The constant sanitizing of language by Western media corporations on behalf of the US-Israel Axis is stunning. The attacks on Iran are not “a war of choice.” They are the crime of aggression. The Israeli regime’s attacks on the Palestinian people are not a “war.” They are the crime of genocide. And the lawless dissemination of Axis propaganda by the media is not journalism. It’s complicity.
