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: https://t.co/kdCOF2mx6A

The ninth circuit of the New Cairo Misdemeanor court has postponed proceedings in the retrial of Mada Masr Editor-in-Chief Lina Attalah until November 18, in which Attalah faces charges of publishing false news and managing a website without a license, to consider her defense counsel’s request for the judge’s recusal, according to lawyer Hassan al-Azhari. Azhari, who represents Mada Masr, said that the “judge had already formed a conviction in mind against the defendant,” noting that the defense would submit its documentation of its reasons for requesting the judge’s recusal to the court while it awaits the court’s decision next week. The hearing in Case 3219/2024 were convened under Mohamed Mubarak, the same judge who presided over Attalah’s October 27 trial in a separate case, and who issued orders for Mada Masr’s closure, fining Attalah LE3 million on the grounds that she had founded and was running the website without a license. Wednesday’s hearing came in the retrial of a case that dates back to 2023, when the Cairo appeals prosecution summoned Attalah on the basis of a report submitted by the Supreme Media Regulatory Council following Mada Masr’s publication of a report in the wake of the outbreak of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip following Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. The prosecution had interrogated Attalah again in 2024 in relation to another report on the role of businessman Ibrahim al-Argani in coordinating the movement of goods and travellers through the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the strip. Following these interrogations with prosecuting authorities, Attalah only learned that she had been referred to trial last month, as she was completing release procedures following the ruling fining Mada Masr and ordering its closure. Mada Masr paid the fine on October 27 and the website’s defense counsel appealed the ruling, with a court hearing to review the appeal request scheduled for November 25.
